Fairlawn Mansion

Built as the family home for lumber and mining baron, Martin Pattison, his wife Grace and their six children, Fairlawn was completed in 1891 at the cost of $150,000; an equivalent of well over $3 million today. The mansion stands as an enduring testament to Pattison’s success and standing in the community. The Queen Anne Victorian house, featuring a four-story turret complete with a widow’s watch overlooking the bay, is a unique and well-recognized landmark in the city of Superior. In summer, gardens dot the expansive lawns with traditional flower varieties such as peony, rose, hydrangea and lily. Guests are welcome to stroll through the grounds at their leisure and may photograph the gardens and exterior of the mansion.

Stroll the beaches of Wisconsin Point, part of the world’s largest freshwater sandbar. See closeup photo on page 63.
