A Split Rock Mystery...

Lore

No one knows for sure who built this fireplace, but it is thought to have been constructed in the early 1900s by a Duluth businessman. Local legend says Frank Day was in love and planned to marry, and that the fireplace was the first thing he built for a dream home before his work stopped when the wedding was called off. On a clear day, looking across Lake Superior reveals the Apostle Islands and Wisconsin shoreline in the distance, almost 30 miles away.
