Duluth

Fitger’s Hotel, Brewery, and Grille in Duluth stands as a repurposed late 19th-century industrial complex along the waterfront, distinguished by its ivy-covered facade. Across the bay in Superior, Wisconsin, the Hansen-Mueller and CHS grain elevators alongside BNSF freight trains underscore the active infrastructure supporting regional grain storage and shipment via rail and Great Lakes routes.
