Field trip

James J. Hill House-  The owner of this house was James J Hill. In 1983 the depression caused the collapse of many industries. James stayed wealthy and joined with J. P. Morgan to buy the Northern Pacific Railroad. He lived in the house with his family and servants. The architect was Peabody and Stearns.

Summit Avenue-Edward Neill was the owner of the first house on Summit Avenue. The architects were Clarence Johnston, Leroy Buffington and many others. The styles were colonial, classical and bungalow/craftsmen. I wasn't there, so I didn't have a favorite house. I didn't know anything about the houses or Summit Avenue so everything I read was what I learned!
