Superior, Wisconsin sits at the western end of Lake Superior and next to Duluth, Minnesota. It’s hard to miss this impressive looking mansion that stands along US-53 that overlooks the lake. It was built in 1891, by mining and lumber baron Martin Pattison for his wife and six children. It has 42 rooms and I think the most impressive feature is the four story widow’s tower that looks out over Superior Bay. In 1920, house was converted into a home for orphaned or destitute children and used until 1962. In the 1990s the first and second floors were renovated to look the way they were when Pattison’s family lived there. The third floor remains like it was when it was used as a children’s home. The house is now a museum and open for tours.
