A Brief Introduction To The Olcott House
Built in 1904, this 10,000 square foot Georgian Colonial Mansion and Carriage House was the home of William and Fanny Olcott and their two daughters. Mr. Olcott was President of Oliver Mining (now U.S. Steel) working directly for John D. Rockefeller. His daughters donated the home to Duluth Teachers College in 1939 (currently University of Minnesota at Duluth) and it became Olcott Hall, School of Music. In 1957 the house was sold to a Lutheran Pastor who used the house for many endeavors such as a printing house, a chapel, a Finnish Lutheran radio studio, and much more. Come learn immerse yourself in the rich history of this grand home filled with fine antiques. Owners, David and Jerry, offer guests the perfect environment to relax and create a magical, memorable experience.
