North Summit Avenue: Selby to Nina

Charles F. Noyes / Joseph Mckay House

235 Summit Avenue Built: 1878 Style: Italianate The house was constructed for Charles Noyes, a druggist who is listed in the city directories as selling "ginsing, seneca roots and beeswax." From 1882-1896 the owner and occupant of the house was Joseph McKey, who was the head of Joseph McKey and Co. The company opperated the Boston One Pride Clothing Store at the northeast corner of 3rd and Robert. The house is a vernacular combination of the Italianate and French Second Empire styles that was common in St. Paul in the 1870's and 1880's. Few intact examples of this type remain today.
