2. F. Scott Fitzgerald House

SUMMIT AVENUE.   F. Scott Fitzgerald, writer of American classics such as "The Great Gatsby," was born in St. Paul and lived in several different houses in and around the city. This large Brownstone home is where Fitzgerald worked on and completed "This Side of Paradise" in 1919. Literary scholars note the irony of the home's location, for when Fitzgerald lived here, this area of Summit Avenue was not unlike a suburb – on the fringe of St. Paul's "inner" society. The home is not open to the general public, but is great for St. Paul sightseeing.   (© 10Best)
