F. Scott Fitzgerald and his wife, Zelda, lived here when their daughter, Scottie, was born in 1921.

In 1921 Fitzgerald wrote: "We got to the Commodore in St. Paul, and while the leaves blew up the street we waited for our children to be born."

The Commodore is available for private bookings, and apparently has a limited public use once a year.
