" Summit Avenue is home to the largest and longest collection of Victorian buildings in the United States, with 373 of its original 440 historic mansions still standing. Built from the mid-19th century through the first decades of the 20th century, these were the homes of St. Paul's millionaires, who made their fortunes in industry. Running east to west, Summit Avenue begins with the city's most prominent landmark, the Cathedral of St. Paul, which is a scale version of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican and sits at downtown's highest point. From here, it stretches 4.5 miles where it ends at the Mississippi River. Close to the cathedral, you will also find the James J. Hill House, which was built by the founder of the Great Northern Railroad, another major tourist attraction. "
"The marble dome of the State Capitol, constructed in 1905, is a prominent feature and an architectural highlight of St. Paul. The original furnishings can be found in the restored Senate, House, Supreme Court, and Rathskeller cafe. Hourly guided tours describe the building's architecture, history, restoration, and decorative art, and visitors are also able to take a self-guided tour. Highlights include the self-supported marble dome, which is the second-largest of its kind in the world, and when the weather cooperates, tourists may also get a close look at the iconic Quadriga, the golden horses that adorn the roof."
