The DPA logo In 1888 D. Clint Prescott, secretary and general manager of the Marinette Iron Works Company, built this home for himself on 54th Avenue West in Duluth. It was razed in 1948. As described in Duluth's Legacy, Vol. 1, the three-story home was a carnival of dormers and gables, porches and verandahs, carving and spindles, chimneys and towers, bargeboards and lattices and gaily-dressed lightning rods. Nowhere on the house could the observer find a moment of visual rest. |
