Adams School in Duluth’s West End
By Paul Lundgren on Feb 5, 2010 in History, Photos
School faculty must have thought this was a major pain, but I think in the long run it proves worthwhile to drag an entire student body out to pose for a photo in front of the building.
A little more info about Adams School here.

I have wondered about the numerous overgrown stairways going up the hill in the 1700 block of W. Superior. Now I see they must have led to the Adams School.
Same deal with Longfellow School in West Duluth. An old stairway and sidewalk leads to an expanse of open land near Elim Lutheran Church.
Paul: great post. I am currently at work on a book to be titled “Lost Duluth” about the buildings and landmarks that have come and gone; we’ve cataloged over 225 subjects so far. The Adams school was one of many, many beautiful schools Duluth built throughout the years, quite a few of of which survive.
But what I can’t seem to find is a good pic of the original Portland School, which went down to make room for the second Portland School, whose name was changed to Jefferson, now the jefferson apartments. If anyone out there has an idea where I could find one, please let me know!
Interesting shot of it in gritty context here.
