St. Louis County is the largest county in Minnesota by area, and its courthouse in Duluth anchors county government in a city built along the Lake Superior harbor. The caption card gives no date for this view, so the building's exact condition and surroundings at the time of the photograph are uncertain. Courthouses of this period were usually among the most ambitious public buildings in their counties, meant to project permanence during the rapid growth of the Minnesota lumber and iron-mining era. Viewers interested in when the picture was taken can compare its street setting with dated images of downtown Duluth.
