It boasts some of the world's finest architecture, culture and cosmopolitan
conveniences, yet it is only minutes away from picturesque parks and
rural setting.
St. Paul prospered throughout the 1800s as a center for fur trading,
lumber and developing industries in agriculture, manufacturing and
food production. When St. Paul became the capitol of Minnesota in
1847, the city took on even greater prominence and has been the site
of many historic events and home to many famous and important people
over the years.
The Lowertown section of St. Paul was originally a quiet residential
district, but once the railroad arrived in 1880 the area quickly became
the wholesale, manufacturing and transportation hub of Minnesota and
the upper Midwest. Most of the major buildings in Lowertown developed
between 1880 and 1920 were designed by the most prominent architects
of the day. In recent years the area has become an urban village and
home to St. Paul's arts community, and the neighborhood now features
a seamless blend of single professionals and young families living
in architecturally significant houses and historic commercial buildings
that were rehabilitated into contemporary residences.
Take a walk around St. Paul and Lowertown today and you'll find an interesting
mix of character, culture and convenience. Next to famous homes of F. Scott
Fitzgerald, Alexander Ramsey and the hideouts of John Dillinger and Ma Barker
are many museums and theaters. Incredible Como Park offers a full complement
of recreational amenities. The St. Paul Farmers Market is well-stocked with
fresh products every spring, summer and fall. The State Fairgrounds offer
a year 'round calendar of events. The steamboats that cruise the Mississippi
are an enjoyable warm weather attraction. The St. Paul skyway system makes
getting around easy to take, especially in winter. There's a virtually endless
array of great shops and services, leisure attractions and entertainment
venues to enjoy. And an appetizing selection of ethnically diverse restaurants,
bistros, cantinas and trattorias to try, as well as neighborhood coffee
houses and intimate cafes.
Everything you need to enjoy an extraordinary lifestyle is as close as America's
most livable city, St. Paul, and the city's most preferred neighborhood,
Lowertown.
