Rising above the colorful shops and restaurants of Canal Park in Duluth, Minnesota stands the stately DeWitt-Seitz Marketplace Building, a historic landmark that has welcomed visitors and locals alike for over a century. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the distinctive red brick exterior and lady slipper of the Marketplace Building evoke the vitality and commerce of a bygone era. Yet within its historic walls, the Marketplace Building remains a vibrant hub of activity.
The Marketplace Building also boasts commanding views of the majestic Lake Superior harbor from its shops and offices. One can gaze out over the shimmering blue waters at the ore docks loading cargo ships, the historic William A. Irvin museum ship, and the Aerial Lift Bridge spanning the harbor. The vistas take in the forested hillsides rolling down to the lakeshore as well.
In addition to its retail and office spaces, the building offers a conference room for business meetings and community events. For over 100 years, through changing times, the DeWitt-Seitz Marketplace Building has endured as a Duluth landmark, welcoming visitors to shop, dine, conduct business, and take in the breathtaking beauty of its surroundings.
