Hotels along Fourth Street in the 1890s

1890's Hotels Along Fourth Street in St. Paul

If one passes by Brown's Fourth Street Hotel, Brown's Fourth Street Hotel (329 East Fourth Street), don’t look inside the windows in case the hotel bar patrons inside should decide to have another stabbing frenzy.

Plenty of violent knife-play can also be experienced at the Brunswick Hotel (14 West Fourth Street). If luggage is important, guests staying there are recommended to take their personal belongings directly to their rooms rather than entrusting it to the hotel’s baggage department.

The Hotel Arlington (197 West Fourth Street) may be an adequate place to stay for one night, but do not pay in advance for any reason.
