Park Terrace, Duluth Minnesota. Built in 1890, demolished in 1936. Now a vacant hillside overgrown with trees, though some stairs and walls remain.

    Wish this one was still around.

  5. Nice to see my city on this sub 🙂

  6. Would love to see a picture from the same angle but nowadays

  7. Gorgeous building. Love how it engages with the hills.

  8. Right it has taken me around 3 hours to find exactly were this was. I’ve never set foot in America so I’m researching this from Ireland.

    You will see a corner stone with the name "Park Terrace" just at corner of step running up. This stone was carried down and placed here but I believe these steps are the ones running up in the foreground of OP’s pic.
    This block was put inbetween the steps and a house.

    You can see this view below on google street view, zoom in to look out for the corner stone beside the yellow house.

    This is the view today
