Description
The Duluth Depot is a historic train station located in Duluth, Minnesota. This French Norman-style building was built as a Union Station in 1892 replacing a wooden framed depot that was on the site.
The depot closed in 1969 after seventy-seven years of providing service to seven different railroads: Duluth & Iron Range, Duluth, Missabe, & Iron Range, Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic, Duluth Missabe & Northern, Great Northern, Northern Pacific, Saint Paul & Duluth. It was scheduled for demolition after it closed but was thankfully saved.
In 1973, it re-opened as the St. Louis County Heritage & Arts Center. It now houses the Duluth Art Institute, Lake Superior Railroad Museum, North Shore Scenic Railroad, St. Louis County Historical Society Museum, a Veteran’s Memorial Hall and five preforming arts organizations.
The Duluth Depot was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.
