Postcards from Superior Street at Fifth Avenue West
The intersection of Fifth Avenue West and Superior Street — featuring the Lyceum Theatre and Spalding Hotel — is near the top of the list of Duluth scenes featured most frequently in early 20th century Duluth postcards. Many have been featured on Perfect Duluth Day in the past, but we’re pretty sure the six in this post have not appeared on this website previously.
I have long been fascinated by that intersection, which looks so different now. It’s interesting that pretty much every postcard I have seen looks East from that intersection. The depots were to the West; why did they not get as much attention? Hmmm.
