Description
Buildings, Bridges, Houses, Landmarks 1870–1940
by Tony Dierckins & Maryanne C. Norton
Duluth’s Grand Old Architecture explores the first seventy years of the Zenith City’s rich tradition of creating architectural statements. From the first brick buildings of the early 1870s through the Romanesque monuments of the 1890s and on to the Art Deco delights of the 1930s, readers will discover many of the remarkable structures—some lost, most still standing—where early Duluthians worked, shopped, prayed, played, learned, and lived. Meet the architects behind the buildings, learn about the people and companies who built them, get to know the families that lived in the city’s opulent homes, and trace each edifice’s history as you uncover the city’s storied past.
This big, beautiful book tells the stories of more than 300 existing and lost commercial and government buildings, schools, houses of worship, theaters, homes, bridges, and more.
