Perfect Duluth Day

View of Duluth from Skyline Parkway

This undated photo of Downtown Duluth, Canal Park, the Aerial Lift Bridge, etc. is from Gallagher’s Studio of Photography. The biggest clue to when the photo was shot is the scrapyard where the Duluth Entertainment and Convention Center stands today. So we know the image was captured prior to construction of the Duluth Arena in 1966. Are there any other clues in there?

Seen in this image, by the way, are the old Warehouse (or Wholesale) District buildings on Fifth Avenue West that were discussed in detail on the post “Mystery Photo #84: Building near Duluth Arena“: Leithead Drug, Patrick Woolen Mills, Stone-Ordean-Wells, Kelley-Howe-Thomson, etc.
