What is the street address of the F. Scott Fitzgerald House in Saint Paul?

The F. Scott Fitzgerald House in Saint Paul stands at 599 Summit Avenue.

The address identifies the rowhouse in Summit Terrace where Fitzgerald’s parents lived and where the young writer worked on the manuscript that became This Side of Paradise. His family first lived at 593 Summit Avenue before moving into the 599 unit in 1918. Fitzgerald remained there until January 1920, when he left for New Orleans.

The building was designed by William H. Willcox and Clarence H. Johnston Sr. and constructed in 1889. Its brownstone façade, polygonal window bay, mansard roof, and Romanesque Revival character reflect the late-Victorian design of the Summit Terrace rowhouses.

The house was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1971 and also contributes to the Historic Hill District. It is sometimes confused with other Fitzgerald-associated addresses, including his New York and European residences, but 599 Summit Avenue is the Saint Paul literary landmark.
