On This Date in Minnesota History: November 11

November 11, 1971 - The F. Scott Fitzgerald House, also known as Summit Terrace, in Saint Paul, Minn., was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on this date for its association with author F. Scott Fitzgerald.

“In July and August 1919, Fitzgerald rewrote the manuscript that became his first novel,
This Side of Paradise. ‘Although Summit Terrace was only one of several Saint Paul locations in which Fitzgerald lived, it typifies the environment on which he drew for some of the finest of his later stories.’"
