====Glensheen Mansion==== [[File:Glensheen Mansion.jpg|thumb|[[Glensheen Mansion]]]] The [[Glensheen Historic Estate]], on the shore of Lake Superior, was built as the family home for wealthy businessman [[Chester Adgate Congdon]]. Glensheen sits on {{convert|7.6|acre}} of lakefront property, has 38 rooms, and is built in the [[Jacobean architecture|Jacobean]] architectural tradition, inspired by the [[Beaux-Arts architecture|Beaux-Arts]] styles of the era. The building was designed by Minnesota architect [[Clarence H. Johnston Sr.]], with interiors designed by William French. The formal terraced garden and English-style landscape was designed by the [[Charles Wellford Leavitt]] firm of New York. Construction began in 1905 at a cost of $854,000 (about ${{Formatprice|{{Inflation|US|854000|1905}}}} in {{inflation-year|US}} dollars) and was completed in 1908. Aside from its architectural significance, Glensheen is noteworthy for the murders of [[Elisabeth Congdon]] and her nurse on June 27, 1977. The mansion is open to tours year-round.
