A 1906 photo of Sacred Heart Institute. In 1904, the Duluth Benedictine sisters moved into their first motherhouse, Sacred Heart Institute, constructed on a two-lot site at Third Avenue East and Third Street. This building housed both the sisters and the girls' academy of the same name. In 1909, the Academy and many of the sisters moved to the new Kenwood site, and the building eventually became the residence for St. Mary's Hospital School of Nursing.
In 1921, an addition was made to the 1909 building: the tower from the original plan was constructed, the north lateral wing was extended and a gymnasium was built. Thomas Ellerbe of St. Paul was the architect. This view from the west shows the rear of the gymnasium, and the north wing extension, with a "bump out" to accommodate the altar of the new third-floor chapel.
