Welcome to Mesaba View. We look forward to hosting you in this beautiful, historic and carefully restored home.
While it may look like a typical redstone townhouse, 3 Mesaba Place is uniquely special in Duluth's history. In fact it was built in 1880 which is far before Duluth's turn of the century growth spurt. In the panic of 1873 when Jay Cooke went bankrupt Duluth shrunk to just over 3,000 residents. These early inhabitants built slab wood structures mostly along the water that were not built to last. Duluth recovered the 1873 recession and at 1880 was just over 12,000 residents. If you can imagine it, 3 Mesaba Place was “High on the hill” when it was built. At the edge of town it truly looked over the city and lake with the best view in town when it was built. While this townhouse looks fairly non-descript, this structure was actually one of the very first structures built in Duluth, that was built to last in which set the tone for future construction in the city. At 139 years old, we've restored this vintage townhouse for many years to come. So many early structures were not built to last and don't survive through the centuries. When we found this gem we felt it fitting to save it, and we hope you enjoy Mesaba View.
