On Oct. 13, 1895, the Duluth News Tribune reported the burning of the Temple Opera House the night before.
DULUTH In the late winter of 1896, one of the worst-kept secrets of downtown Duluth was that a young, attractive and somewhat sleepy-looking woman in pajamas was haunting the ruins of the Temple Opera House.
