F. Scott Fitzgerald, writer of such American classics as "The Great Gatsby" and "The Last Tycoon," was born in St. Paul and lived in several different houses in and around the city during his time here. This large Brownstone home is of particular interest because it was here that he worked on and completed "This Side of Paradise" in 1919, at the tender age of 23. Literary scholars will 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.
