Thank you Julie and Dave! Victorian Hall is just kitty korner across the street. Made reservations online for the Victorian Hall Bed and Breakfast (associated with Laurium across the street, but Victorian is a little bit cheaper). Jacka, Laurium Village President, was authorized to send a Resolution of Friendship by order of the Village Council to Evanghelos Koutalidis, Mayor of Lavrion, Greece.

In 1895, it was necessary to increase the area of the Village six times. The Ship Canal Company then deeded the property over to the newly formed St. Mary's Canal Mineral Land Company on June 8th, 1860. Over the course of Calumet & Hecla's history, shareholders were paid dividends in excess of $160,000,000 and employment peaked at 11,000. However, it became apparent that the company's mineral rights were of doubtful value. The front desk is at Laurium, so when we arrived to check in, they informed us that we were the only people scheduled to stay there that night so they upgraded us to a room in Victorian, free of charge! I have stayed in several B&B's and this one is ranked right up there as one of the best in my book!

We look forward to our next visit real soon and I will also be back with my daughters.

Administration The City Administrator is responsible for the efficient administration of all City Departments, ensuring all laws and ordinances are enforced, development of an annual budget, and maintenance of an accounting system that shall conform with the laws and generally accepted accounting principles.

Designed by John Scott and built from 1897 to 1902, the building stood opposite the late, great old city hall, gone from the scene some 43 years now. He found property values too high on Osceola Street and decided to take a chance on a Hecla Street Location, this being the current site of Aspirus Keweenaw Rehabilitation and Fitness Center. Each evening we found fresh cookies or brownies on the table in the dining area in Victorian Hall for us to enjoy. The plan was to sink a second shaft 2,600 feet to the North and mine the area in between, along the Kearsarge Flow which ran parallel with present day U.S. 41. The name of Laurium is taken from the Greek town of Lavrion (attica). According to Houghton County Register of Deeds, the first deeded sale from the Laurium Mining Company to a private individual occurred in 1880, this being Lots 23 & 24 of Block One. Chassell. The shaft was sunk to a depth of 456 feet.
