George & Isabelle French Residence
Prominent Chicago and Boston architect Frederick Perkins turned to the Beaux Arts/Classic Revival style to inspire his look for the French House, one of six residences he designed for Duluth. French was president of the French & Bassett Furniture Company, first established in 1884. Many East End homes, including the Silbersteins at Twenty-One North Twenty-First Avenue East, were furnished with items made at French & Bassett. Mr. French also established the Northern National Bank of Duluth. Enjoy learning more about this property and many more in our East End Walking Tour .
