The Minnesota Governor's Residence at 1006 Summit Avenue has served as the state's official executive residence since 1965, when businessman Charles W. Gillette donated the Tudor-style mansion to the state. Summit Avenue itself is one of the best-preserved Victorian boulevards in the country, lined with mansions built by railroad and lumber barons in the late 19th century. On November 14, 2020, supporters gathered along the avenue for a "Stop the Steal" rally contesting the results of the presidential election, carrying Trump 2020 flags and signs disputing Joe Biden's victory. The residence's public-facing location on a major St. Paul thoroughfare has made it a recurring site for demonstrations directed at the sitting governor.
