Thomas & Martha Davis Residence

Placeholder

2100 E. 1st St.

The Davis’s English Revival/Medieval style house, clad in brick and
red sandstone, was reputedly built to be fireproof with five layers of brick for outside walls and cement floors with no exposed wires. Architects William T. Bray and Carl Nystrom designed seventeen homes in Duluth’s East End between 1903 and 1915, many of which are included on this tour. After his partnership with Bray dissolved, Nystrom never again designed an East End house.
