February 20: Duluth’s 1889 City Hall and Its Mayors
Renowned Duluth architect Oliver Traphagen designed Duluth’s 1889 City Hall at the southwest corner of Superior and East Second Streets to serve the seat of Duluth’s municipal government, which it did until 1929. This presentation reaches beyond the architecture of this brownstone jewel to introduce the audience to the twelve mayors that served within its walls from 1889 to 1929 and their impact on the history of the Zenith City, then traces the building’s tenant history to today and explores the many myths and legends surrounding this iconic structure
