Irvine Park Historic District

The district features an ornate fountain at its center, surrounded by preserved Victorian houses and a public gazebo for community gatherings.

John Irvine and Henry Mower Rice established this neighborhood in 1849, creating a New England-style public square that became central to Saint Paul's development.

The district contains numerous architectural examples from the 19th century, including Greek Revival, Italianate, Queen Anne, and Carpenter Gothic residential buildings.

The park requires permits for events, which residents can obtain 13 months in advance, while non-residents must wait until 12 months before their planned date.

The Parker-Marshall House from 1852 stands as the oldest structure in the district, having been relocated multiple times throughout its history.
