Heard on the Street: St. James Hotel to host open house
The St. James Hotel, a member of the Historic Hotels of America, announced it will host a free public open house from 1 to 4 p.m. on April 21.
The open house will feature a 5 guest-room expansion in a newly-remodeled wing of the hotel.
"Old and new collide, as architectural engineers masterfully aligned modern day conveniences with the hotel's historic 19th century settings and the storied past of Hamline University," according to a press release from the St. James hotel. "As Minnesota's oldest university, Hamline's first home was in Red Wing from 1854-1869. Mantles, archways, windows, furniture, and original wood flooring, gathered and re-purposed from the original President's House in St. Paul, have been incorporated into each suite. This unique harmony of antique vestige and hospitality luxuries create an impressive experience, enriched with history."
The open house will feature guided tours, refreshments, and historical information on Hamline University relics. — Staff reports
