ruins, interesting place
This is the location of the ruins of Duluth's first water reservoir, it was privately built the by Gas and Water company in 1884 & took advantage of a natural spring, it was abandoned sometime after 1898 when the current reservoirs were built by the city, and by 1915 it was already in ruins. Today, the inside walls still has some of it's brick lining. Also in the area, there are quite a few other ruins near by in the woods, which were most likely houses.
