The Great Gatsby author F Scott Fitzgerald is St Paul's most celebrated literary son. The Pullman-style apartment at 481 Laurel Ave is his birthplace. Five blocks away, Fitzgerald lived in the brownstone at 599 Summit Ave when he published This Side of Paradise . Both are private residences. From here stroll along Summit Ave toward the cathedral and gape at the Victorian homes rising from the street.
Literature buffs should grab the Fitzgerald Homes and Haunts map at the visitor center to see other footprints.
