The St. Louis County Courthouse in Duluth, Minnesota, anchors this view of a city then growing fast as a Lake Superior port. Around 1909, Duluth was shipping iron ore from the Mesabi Range and lumber from the surrounding forests, and county seats like this one were where deeds, court records, and local government were handled as the population swelled. The record notes that it was copyright-registered by a photographer named Maher, a detail that suggests the picture was made for commercial sale as well as for the county. The caption information comes from an old card and has not been verified, so the exact date and vantage point are best treated as approximate.
