You can see the Cathedral of Saint Paul to the left. And here we are at James J. Hill’s house. You can out-click and read about Mr. Hill.
We wandered around the grounds, but did not go inside. Nice house eh?
I have to say that the Turnblads had the better topper to their porte cochere. A sunroom beats a patio any day.
Beautiful wrought iron.
It would be lovely to have a summer party out here.
Gorgeous barreled ceiling. Also a great example of how much upkeep this house needs.
Even more room for your summer party.
A peek into the house and a gorgeous chandelier.
The view has changed since Mr. Hill’s time.
Sara is about to show us her raw power.
To push apart these two trees.
Having explored the grounds of the Hill House, we took a walk on Summit Ave to see what the neighbors have been up to.
Another good wrought iron detail.
Pretty eyebrow window with beautiful frieze.
Big tree with inviting front entrance.
Some rehab.
How about some serpents?
Beautiful paint job.
The Hill House sort of looks like an oversized hobbit house. I think it’s the color of the brick that makes me think that. Do those serpents have weird heads or am I looking at it funny?
I think the serpents have human faces, which does look funny. I wonder if I’m missing a mythical reference?
Sheesh, I’m strong! HA! I like how enjoyable this “walk by” exterior visit was, in spite of not actually touring! Yay!
Good morning, friend! I am swinging by for a few comments before I prep the house for our next round of visitors. A storm is kicking up and it is quite fun to hear the wind begin its raging…
