Charlie's Club, Spirit Valley

Minnesota · USA · Mill

A late 1800s building in the Duluth neighbourhood called Spirit Valley, four storeys until a fire took three of them. Nobody was hurt in the blaze.

The night club sits in the western part of Duluth, Minnesota, in a neighbourhood called Spirit Valley, which is the kind of coincidence that writes its own introduction.

The building went up in the late 1800s and stood four storeys tall until a fire reduced it to the single storey it occupies now. Nobody was hurt or killed in that fire, which rules out the explanation most people reach for first.

What the building has instead is a history. Over the years it operated as what the accounts politely call a house of commercial affection, as a gin mill, and as a speakeasy.

The events staff describe are routine rather than dramatic, which is usually the sign of a genuine working haunting rather than a story. They centre on the pool tables near the west doors, and they happen often enough that nobody there treats them as remarkable.

Three floors of that building are gone. Whatever is reported on the ground floor is what is left of a place that was a great deal larger.
