Fairlawn

Wisconsin · United States · Manor

The mansion belonged to the first mayor of Superior. The woman reported in it was the family's housekeeper, who married and moved away.

Fairlawn at Superior, Wisconsin was built for the first mayor of the city, and his family lived in it for many years.

The figure reported is the housekeeper. She served the family for a long time, and when she married she left.

What is said to have happened to her afterwards, at her husband's hands, is not documented and is not asserted here.

What is worth noting is where she is said to have returned to. Not the house she married into, but the house she worked in, which she had left of her own accord for what should have been a better life.

The mansion has forty two rooms and was built in 1890 on Lake Superior, when this city expected to become the great port of the upper lakes and did not.

It is a museum and is open to visitors.
