Sept 11

Sept 11 Today we toured the Historic Congdon Estate (Glensheen). It is a 39 room mansion on7.6 acres built in 1905 for Charles Congdon and his family. He was an attorney mining entrepreneur and state legislator. The home was built right on Lake Superior with its own garden house, boat house and a place for a very large vessels to tie up. It was built with the very best of everything. It has three levels plus the attic. Every room has the original carpets, drapes and furniture. There was an intercom system in all the rooms. Everything was way ahead of its time with the best of everything money could buy. The house was willed to the University of Minnesota (Duluth)
