Cathedral Hill is a wonderful community located on the eastern side of St. Paul's Summit-University neighborhood.  Bordered by Marshall Avenue, John Ireland Boulevard, Summit Avenue and Dale Street, many of St. Paul's largest and most prestigious homes are located here. 

 

A number of our buildings are included in the National Register of Historic Places, including Blair Flats (now known as The Blair Arcade) and the F. Scott Fitzgerald House, also known as Summit Terrace.  Fitzgerald actually lived in quite a few houses throughout his life, a list of which can be found by clicking here.

 

Cathedral Hill's most prominent landmark is the Cathedral of St. Paul, which was recently designated as the National Shrine of the Apostle Paul.  It was designed by Emmanuel Louis Masqueray who was also the chief architect for the 1904 World's Fair.  Construction began in 1906 and took nine years.  The cathedral is considered one of the most beautiful in the

United States, and is built almost entirely of Minnesota marble, travertine and granite.

 

Selby Avenue is the heart of Cathedral Hill's business district.  A number of salons, restaurants and cafés serve visitors and local residents.  Some of the more popular spots are Bon Vie, A Piece of Cake Bakery, WA Frost and Company, and Nina's Coffee Café.
