Postcard from the Lighthouse at Duluth, Minn.
This 120ish-year-old postcard shows the Duluth Harbor North Pier Lighthouse on the Canal Park side of the Duluth Shipping Canal during a storm.
The message on the front of the card reads:

Little Miss McKindley’s address, 1024 E. First St., is presently the location of a parking ramp on the Aspirus St. Luke’s health system campus.
