Dear Victoria (and interested list members), Rice and Winter Streets are intersecting streets (running perpendicular) in the Capitol Heights area of St. Paul, a neighborhood located just north of the State Capitol building. So it would be impossible to live "between Rice and Winter". Also, in the late 1800s (and even in the mid-1800s) there were no farms in this area of the city. This neighborhood became part of the city proper in 1854, when the city was first incorporated. It was settled mostly in the 1870s and 1880s, as a residential neighborhood, and never used for "farming", even in its earliest days. Some of the Capitol Heights neighborhood remains intact, but much of it was destroyed for parking lots for state government buildings, and also for the Bethesda Hospital complex. The neighborhood is bordered by the Northend neighborhood on the north, the Mt. Airy neighborhood on the east, the Frogtown neighborhood on the west, and Downtown, or the central business district of St. Paul on the south. I'll send info on the Mrozek's in a private email. Hope this helps.
