The spires on the bridge look like the were designed by Tim Burton . spooky

Hes going to get his knickers all covered in filth. Dirty little dude. He'll get the willow switch when his mother sees him.

Hard to tell if those train yard kids are working a 12 hour shift, stealing coal, or just playing. Those were the days!

Also, "St. Louis Avenue, Minnesota Point; Erin Go Bragh Saloon, Duluth., c. 1875 (MNHS)."

Small correction:

"Strange Span: 1905 (construction of the Aerial Lift Bridge)"

That would be the aerial trasffer bridge; the lift bridge was converted from this over 1929-1930. That's a shot of the first day the bridge was officially opened.

Thanks for the post!

Another 1905 view, just added:  http://www.shorpy.com/node/6941

Barrett:

That may be because you are actually looking at Rice's Point, not MN point. Taken above the intersection of Superior St. and Garfield Ave. That's the railroad roundhouse that once dominated Rice's Point. You can see the old railroad bridges, etc. and the New Clarendon Hotel (turreted bldg)--cool shot. Wish I had a copy of this when I was officing out of the Garfield News Bldg.

It looks like a baseball game on the right-hand side.
