George & Laura Barnum Residence

A large red-brick house with white trim, a covered front porch, a wreath on the upper balcony, and bare trees in the yard on a cloudy day. A driveway leads up to the house and a lawn surrounds it.

2211 E. 3rd St.

An exposed brick chimney splits the massive center front gable of the Barnum’s eclectic house, a two-story brick structure wrapped in limestone trim. Barnum made his way to Duluth surveying Jay Cooke’s Lake Superior & Mississippi Railroad (now part of Northern Paci c). While his contributions to early Duluth were many, the town of Barnum honored him as its namesake, and for many years he gave each graduating student at Barnum High School a $5 gold piece.
