Glensheen - Historic Congdon Estate, Historic mansion museum in Duluth, United States.

The Glensheen estate includes a 20,000-square-foot mansion with 39 rooms, built in Jacobean style on 12 acres of Lake Superior waterfront property.

Chester Adgate Congdon commissioned architect Clarence Johnston Sr to design this mansion in 1905, completing construction for $854,000 in 1908.
