mansion with a past - View this location on map 'of all the captains of industry who once called duluth home, chester a. congdon was reputedly one of the richest. glensheen (218-726-8910), his baronial 39-room lakefront mansion on almost eight acres, was completed in 1908. the basic tour of the main house's lower floors ($12) takes about an hour but doesn't include the arts and crafts collection on the third floor (you can choose to see just that floor and the attic for $12); another option is a tour of the entire estate ($22). until last year, tour guides were discouraged from discussing the double murder committed at the estate in 1977. an intruder smothered the 83-year-old heiress to the congdon family fortune with a pink satin pillow and beat her night nurse to death with a candlestick holder. most guides now mention the crime, but you may not hear about it unless you ask.''
