Duluth Civic Center Historic District
Duluth Civic Center Historic District, Government complex in downtown Duluth, United States.
The Duluth Civic Center Historic District consists of four buildings and a monument arranged around a central square at Fifth Avenue West and First Street.
Daniel Burnham and Company of Chicago completed the design for the public square and St. Louis County Courthouse between 1908 and 1909, setting the district's architectural direction.
The buildings exhibit Classical Revival and Beaux-Arts architecture with granite facades, columns, and decorative elements that demonstrate early 20th-century civic design principles.
The district continues to function as an administrative center, housing courts, municipal offices, and federal services in downtown Duluth's governmental sector.
The Soldiers and Sailors Monument, created by architect Cass Gilbert in 1919, stands in the central square to honor local veterans of foreign conflicts.
