Macalester-Groveland, is in west central St. Paul, south of Merriam Park and north of Highland Park. It is bounded on the north by Summit Avenue, on the east by the Short Line and a segment of Interstate 35E, on the south by Randolph Avenue, and on the west by the Mississippi River.
The area is primarily residential with scattered commercial developments along the main streets, such as Grand and St. Clair Avenues. Several schools and colleges including Macalester College at Snelling and Summit Avenues and the St. Paul Seminary at Mississippi River Boulevard and Summit Avenue.
The early history of Macalaster-Groveland is associated with the old Reserve Township from which it and the adjacent Highland Park area. Reserve Township was one of six townships created in Ramsey County when Minnesota became a state in 1858. Before then the land of Reserve Township was restricted from settlement because it was part of Fort Snelling’s military reserve. Several would-be settlers were evicted by force. William Finn, a veteran from Fort Snelling, was granted a large section of land in the area in 1848 and the following year a number of others began staking illegal claims on the land after a township survey indicated the possibility of the impending sale of the reservation land. The sale occurred in 1854 and many who bought the land became the area’s first farmers, including William Brimhall, who planted an apple orchard near Snelling and St. Clair, and John Ayd, who in 1860 built the only grist mill in Reserve Township, near present day Jefferson Avenue.

Several events occurred in the 1880′s which would shape future development in Macalester-Groveland. The Short Line Railroad was laid along the eastern edge in 1880, serving commuters to Minneapolis and St. Paul. William Nettleton, the founder of Duluth, platted his one hundred thirty acre farm near Randolph and Lexington in the southeast corner of the area, and sold house sites although few buildings were constructed until well after 1900. In 1887, following landscape architect H.W.S. Cleveland’s recommendations, the cities of both Minneapolis and St. Paul began to acquire land along the banks of the Mississippi River to preserve the area as a parkway.
During the late 1880′s and early 1890′s numerous houses were constructed south and west of Macalester College in an area platted in 1883 as the Macalester Park Addition, but quickly dubbed “Tangletown” because of the winding streets and irregular size lots.
Here are a few buildings to note in the Macalaster- Groveland Neighborhood.
- § At 375 S. Mount Curve, circa 1867, is the Frederick Spangenberg House built by a German immigrant and his family. The house is probably the only surviving stone farmhouse of its vintage standing in Ramsey County.
- § The Queen Anne style Frank Harlowe House at 123 S. Cambridge Street built in 1886 and designed by H. S. Treherne.
- § The impressive Shingle style David W. McCourt House at 161 S. Cambridge, designed by Cass Gilbert and James Knox Taylor in 1890.
- § The English Gothic Revival style St. Paul’s Church-on-the-Hill at 1524 Summit Avenue designed in 1912-13 by Emmanuel Masqueray.
