TOWER- The Tower-Soudan Historical Society has received grant funding to replace the roof on the Tower Historic Fire Hall on Main Street. This was the first fire hall built on the Iron Range, in 1895, and is the oldest existing public building north of Duluth.
A $20,000 grant was made from the Department of Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation Culture and Tourism Program through taxes paid by Minnesota’s mining industry, and a $10,000 grant was made from the State of Minnesota from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund through the Minnesota Historical Society. The roof replacement will eliminate water infiltration and deter further building deterioration.
