This is a quiet residential neighborhood which was destroyed in the fires of 1918, and rebuilt during the early 1920's. The two-story home relative to this listing was built in 1920, and has five bedrooms and two baths. At the back of this property there is a small historical structure called a "Red Cross House." After the fires of 1918, the Red Cross put up many very small temporary houses for people to live in until their larger homes could be rebuilt. The "little red house" behind the main house on this property is one of about 300 which still stand in Cloquet today. There is taxi service and a transit bus; home is within walking distance of public library, parks, schools and grocery/convenience stores and many other businesses. Jay Cooke State Park is ten minutes away and has bike trails through great natural woods and water areas. The Black Bear Casino is also ten minutes away and along with gaming, features live music on weekends and some of the finest dining in the area. Duluth is 18 miles east, a quick trip on the freeway, and offers many interesting things to do. A lot of people have found the Comfy House to be convenient when their destination is Duluth, and enjoy the features of a smaller town for lodging. This home is close to many tourist attractions including Bentleyville in Duluth (20 miles) and Jay Cooke State Park in Carlton (6 miles). Black Bear Casino is about ten minutes away as well.
