About Merriam Park Neighborhood

District 13, known as Merriam Park-Lexington-Hamline, is located in the west central part of St. Paul. The northern boundary extends west along University Avenue from Lexington Parkway to Cleveland Avenue, along Cleveland Avenue to Interstate Highway 94 and along I-94 to the Minneapolis-St. Paul border. The district is bounded by Lexington Parkway on the east, Summit Avenue on the south, and the Mississippi River (the city limits) on the west. In addition to a sizeable residential section, District 13 includes a large part of the Midway commercial and industrial area along University Avenue. It also includes several schools, St. Thomas and Concordia Colleges, various churches and public buildings and some commercial establishments located along the major streets. With the exception of Lake Iris Park and the oldest portions of Merriam Park, which date from the 1880's, much of the rest of present day District 13 was not settled extensively until the early twentieth century. District 13's residential architecture thus represents the variety of architectural styles found in St. Paul from the mid-1880's to the 1930's, ranging from the Queen Anne to the Pueblo Revival.
