The Many Conveniences of the St. Louis County Jail in 1925
The April 15, 1925 issue of the Duluth Herald featured several photos of the then-new St. Louis County Jail, part of the Duluth Civic Center. The paper called it “a model in jail construction” and compared it to a “first-class hotel.”
Below are the photos with the captions that appeared below them in the paper.

The schoolroom, where classes are held daily and chapel Sundays. Note the barred door.
