North Summit Avenue: Farrington to Virgina

John H Allen House

335 Summit Avenue Built: 1893 Style: Queen Anne Allen was a partner in Allen, Moon and Co. wholesale grocers. The house is one of a handful of houses on Summit Ave. designed by prominent St. Paul architect J. Walter Stevens. It is interesting that Stevens who designed many wholesale warehouse and manufacturing buildings in Lowertown, would be commissioned to design this house for one of the largest wholesale grocers in the Midwest.

Comment: (12.75.134.82) Lots of curb appeal but in need of removing the dark coal dust off the stone then it would look georgeous
