Glensheen Historic Estate, located in Duluth, Minnesota, is a grand mansion built in the early 20th century. Constructed between 1905 and 1908, it was originally the home of Chester Adgate Congdon, a prominent attorney and industrialist. The estate, which spans 39 rooms, is an exquisite example of Jacobean Revival architecture and is set on a beautifully landscaped 12-acre property along the shores of Lake Superior. Today, Glensheen is operated by the University of Minnesota Duluth as a historic house museum, offering guided tours that showcase its well-preserved interiors, original furnishings, and the fascinating history of the Congdon family.
