Another view of St Paul's Cathedral from the South East side. I was lucky enough to get out of work a bit early today so stopped off by St. Paul's on the way home to take a few pictures despite the overcast conditions making it a bit dark.
Continuing to try out a new toy, I spotted some westbounds shooting out of the Bluff Yard on East Hump's command. On account of a double track parking lot at NTW on the St. Paul Sub, things had to go Midway Sub. Of course, this hopper train is heading for the Willmar Line, so no big deal. This shot works well with a uniform unit train.
At this point in our day, I changed my lens from the 17mm to the 12mm. At 17mm this was very tight top and bottom.
Built in 1887 for barrel maker Michael Murray, this Queen Anne-style house was designed by notable architect Edward P. Bassford.

The house is a contributing structure in the Irvine Park Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
Building named after Viscount Brendan Bracken who founded the Financial Times and had this building built to accommodate it. He, reputedly, dabbled in the occult, hence the astrological clock above the entrance. The face of his great friend, Winston Churchill, is represented as the sun god in the centre.
Built in 1889, this Richardsonian Romanesque-style building stands at the corner of Western Avenue and Selby Avenue in St. Paul’s Cathedral Hill neighborhood. The building was notably home to the W. A. Frost Pharmacy for much of its early history, being owned by Frost until his death in 1930, and remaining in business until 1950, whereupon the decline of the neighborhood and shifting demographics of the area led to its closure. In 1974, the building was purchased by the Rupp family and became home to the W. A. Frost Bar and Restaurant in 1975, which helped kickstart the revitalization and preservation of the surrounding Cathedral Hill neighborhood. The building is a contributing structure in the Historic Hill District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. The W. A. Frost Bar and Restaurant remains a popular local business today.

Built in 1889, this Richardsonian Romanesque-style set of rowhouses, clad in brick and rusticated brownstone, were designed by Clarence H. Johnston, Sr. & William H. Willcox. One of the rowhouses, located towards the western end of the row, was inhabited by F. Scott Fitzgerald and his parents between 1918 and 1920. Most of the rowhouses feature stone facades with decorative trim details, arched windows, trapezoidal bay windows, oriel windows, gable parapets, and porches with arched openings. Other rowhouses demonstrate more Renaissance Revival-style features with broad overhanging eaves, shallow oriel windows, and rectilinear windows. The F. Scott Fitzgerald House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and listed as a National Historic Landmark in 1971, with the row being listed as a contributing structure in the Historic Hill District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
Built in 1851 by Isaac P. Wright, this house was originally a more modest structure, and saw minor alterations circa 1864. In 1906, the house’s second owner, James Prendergast, commissioned local architect Mark Fitzpatrick to renovate the house in the Neoclassical style, adding a new front wing with a two-story pedimented Ionic portico to the house, and carrying out major alterations, including a major interior renovation with elements salvaged from the opulent Norman Kittson Mansion. The house is a contributing structure in the Irvine Park Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
Built between 1919 and 1925 in the Romanesque Revival style, this church, originally known as St. Luke’s Catholic Church, was designed by John Theodore Comès and William Perry of the firm Comès, Perry and McMullen, as well as the Walter Butler Co. Inc. The building features a “basilica” floor plan, barrel vault ceilings and roman arches, a facade clad in limestone with lots of carved decoration, and a tile roof with multiple colors of tile mixed in. The church is a contributing structure in the Historic Hill District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.

Built in 1891, this ostentatious Queen Anne-style mansion was built for William W. Bishop (W.W. Bishop), and was later known as Mrs. Porterfield’s Boarding House in 1919, when F. Scott Fitzgerald was revising a novel, and spent quite a bit of time on the porch with friends Donald Ogden Stewart and John D Briggs. The house features an ornate dormer with a decorative gable parapet, a semi-circular two-story bay window, an octagonal tower with gable ends on each side decorated with trim panels, a bracketed cornice, a large porch with classical details, and tall brick chimney stacks.

Built in 1931, this small Art Deco-style limestone-clad building was designed by Magnus Jemne to house the St. Paul Women's City Club. Located on an irregularly-shaped site at the corner of St. Peter Street and Kellogg Boulevard, the building echoes this condition in its design, with rounded facades that peel away from the street in places, with a more orthogonal base below. The building was sold to the Minnesota Museum of Art in 1972, and now houses an architectural firm. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
Built in 1915, this Tudor Revival-style limestone-clad mansion was designed by Thomas Holyoke for Watson and Sarah Davidson, whom made their fortune in real estate. The house was a private residence until 1961, when it became home to the College of Visual Arts, founded in 1948, which remained in the house until 2013, utilizing it as an administration building, classrooms, and art studios. Following the closure of the College of Visual Arts, the house languished until it was bought by Commonwealth Companies in 2019 and renovated into The Davidson, an upscale boutique hotel, with several areas of the building remaining vacant. The house is a contributing structure in the Historic Hill District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
Built between 1909 and 1915, this Beaux Arts-style cathedral, dedicated to Saint Paul the Apostle, was designed by Emmanuel L. Masqueray and Whitney Warren, and stands prominently atop Cathedral Hill at the intersection of Selby Avenue, Summit Avenue, and Dayton Avenue. The cathedral, the fourth to be the seat of the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, replacing an earlier cathedral location on St. Peter Street in Downtown Saint Paul, which had served as the seat of the archdiocese since 1858, and stands on the former site of the Second Empire-style Norman Kittson mansion, built in 1884. The cathedral, the third-largest Catholic church in the United States and the sixth-largest church in the United States, features a large copper dome, granite cladding on the exterior with classical details, and an interior with soaring ceilings and massive stained glass windows. The church is a contributing structure in the Historic Hill District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. In 2009, the church was designated the National Shrine of the Apostle Paul by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Holy See.
Das Stift St. Paul im Lavanttal ist ein im Jahr 1091 gegründetes Kloster des Benediktinerordens in Unterkärnten. Seine Gebäude stehen in 400 m Seehöhe auf einer Felskuppe am Übergang vom mittleren zum unteren Lavanttal oberhalb des Hauptortes der gleichnamigen Kärntner Marktgemeinde. Die heute bestehenden Gebäude der weitläufigen Anlage des Stifts wurden großteils im 17. Jahrhundert in barockem Stil errichtet. Noch älter ist die Stiftskirche, eine romanische Pfeilerbasilika, die vermutlich ab dem letzten Drittel des 12. Jahrhunderts erbaut und im frühen 13. Jahrhundert vollendet wurde.
Das Stift wurde 1782/87 unter Josef II. aufgehoben, jedoch schon im Jahr 1809 durch Mönche aus dem Kloster St. Blasien wiederbesiedelt. Abgesehen von einer weiteren Aufhebung in der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus (1940–45) wird das Stift St. Paul seit seiner Gründung ununterbrochen durch die Benediktiner unterhalten und ist somit das älteste noch heute aktive Kloster in Kärnten. Besondere Bedeutung kommt dem Stift durch seine umfangreichen und wertvollen Kunst- und Büchersammlungen zu, die Abtei betreibt außerdem das private Stiftsgymnasium St. Paul, dem rund 700 Schüler angehören.
2021 gehören 8 Mönche und 2 Novizen zur klösterlichen Gemeinschaft.
