James J. Hill House

Saint Paul, MN

Railroad magnate James J. Hill's enormous Richardsonian Romanesque mansion contains heavy stonework, complex mechanical systems and extravagantly scaled rooms. Guided access reveals the infrastructure behind a Gilded Age home built almost like a private institution.
