On Wednesday, we took a look at some of the beyond beautiful stone houses on Summit Avenue in St. Paul. Today, we will be looking at houses and buildings built with stucco or siding or a mixture that stand tall and proud along the same street. If you liked the stone houses, you should equally love the houses below.
We have no time to waste!

I have decided since my last neighborhood tour that I would like to make this some sort of installment on my blog. I don’t know if it will be every week or every other week, it all kind of depends on when I get to spend time with my boyfriend, San, because he has the wheels. I really like touring neighborhoods though and I think people like reading about them, so whenever I can I will be sure to blog about
