Dickson’s Lake Park Tourist Home is listed in Duluth city directories from 1951 to 1967 and Frank G. Dickson is listed as a resident going back at least to 1930.
The address was 1127 London Road, today the location of a vacant lot across the street from the Leif Erikson statue near the Rose Garden.
