work have been on the job and used
their best energies for the successful
completion of the task with which
they were entrusted.
For the benefit of those who do not
remember the city hall building or
those who never saw it we are printing
a picture of the building as it stood
before being RACED by the contractor
to make room for the new building
In 1899 when this building was built
it was one of the show places of the
ranges. Some of the Mesaba range
cities had erected city buildings but
none compared to the one erected in
Ely 1t was few years later when
actual construction of public buildings
became a matter of contest in the
range towns and veritable palaces be-
gan to replace the rather mediocre
structures in the majority of towns on
the Mesaba range.
The City Council did not get into
the building until the spring of 1900.
At that time our population was given
in the directory as COL. The census
of 1900 gave us a population of 3,717,
which stood until 1910 when the census
changed the figures, not very much, to
total of 1872 In 1920, another CEN
sus gave us 1902 and the census early
this year placed the population of Ely
at 6,156.
The first city hall of which we
boosted was a two-story affair situated
on Lots 3 and 4, Block 16. These are
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1930-12-12

needs of the city in a way Towards
the latter years as the business of the
city increased and since the establish
ment of the district court terms here,
the facilities in the structure have been
cramped and the necessity became ap-
parent that we needed a more modern
office building, council chambers and
court facilities. All of these needs are
embodied in the new building besides
furnishing the fire department with as
fine quarters as can be found in the
northwest.
In closing, we cannot fail to call at
tention to the new Jail quarters with
its handsome cells and facilities Cells
are provided for both men and women
and a Juvenile ward also has been es-
tablished. The chief of police has been
provided with modern office facilities
and room for the patrolmen. 1t is pre-
Sumed that it will be somewhat of a
pleasure to live in the new Jail and it
is expected that there will be a rush
for the privilege of being the first to
occupy the same.
The Ely Miner is also indebted to
the city council for placing series of
shelves at our disposal upon which the
files of this paper will be placed in a
fire proof environment and in a
position to be preserved This may
sound to some like special privilege
but it must be remembered that in the
files of the local paper is contained
the only history of the city now at
hand and these books will come in
handy one of these days when some
one writes the history of Ely. In this
cabinet will be contained the files of
the Ely Iron Home, the first paper
printed here, the Ely Times and the
Ely Miner, dating back to 1888 Two
volumes, those of 1891 and 1892 of the
Ely Iron Home are missing, a SORROW
ful break in the annals of the city
history. 1t is our impression, however.
that files of these issues are contained
in the vault of the State Historical
Society at st. Paul from which data
covering these two years can be Sc
cured.
Ely is proud of it's new municipal
building and we will say it is about
the handsomest, inside and outside, of
any it has been our pleasure to see,
anywhere. Some are larger and more
ornate with gingerbread" effects, but
none are more beautiful well construc-
ted and efficiently arranged than our
new city hall. To the past mayor and
city councils who are responsible for
its erection, are the thanks of the citi-
zens due. Their persistent energy in
bringing about the Irritation of their
plans is deserving of the commentator
OF the people of Ely and they are re-
ceiving the hearty congratulations of
all who see the new structure.
And what is more. It was built
without bond issue and without in
creasing the annual levy to any nom
appreciable extent. An unprecedented
occurrance in the history OF range
communities also is the fact that the
building is paid for.
& Keep your eye on Ely. We have the
city, the people and the best outing
section in the United States. Believe
1t or not" but it is the truth.

the lots upon which the residence of
L. j. White now stands Several years
later the building was moved to Lot Z,
Block Is, in the Original Plat of Ely.
This location is in the rear of the
present Jacob. L. Pete garage building.
Here all the business of the city was
done for ten years or until the removal
Of the city officials to the new Struc-
ture. Besides the room for the city
council meetings and clerks room
wherein was safe containing the
city records, a municipal court pre-
SIDED over. by judge H. Van Blarcom,
was also conducted in the council
chamber On the lower floor was
housed the fire department and the
city light plant.
The construction of the city hall
building was begun while Grant Nc
Mahan was Mayor of Ely during the
years 1899 and 1900. At that time the
elections were held in March and new
ouucerS assumed their duties in April.
Mayor McIahan refused to consider
the Office for another term and in May
of 1900 Louis Sletten was elected to
the mayors chair. Mr. McMahan, how
ever, remained in office long enough to
see his constant endeavor for the bet
terment of the city bear fruit and
until the new building was occupied.
On the council with him at the time
of the construction were Aldermen
James Housley, Olof Knutson, E. j..
Cox, John Glode, A D. Ellefsen and
Joseph Skala.
The building was constructed of

modern American style of architecture
is not fad but is here to remain as
it is very practical and at the same
time beautiful to behold.
Most of the basement portion OF the
building is exposed about 5 feet above
the ground and thus makes the Struc-
ture two and half stories in height.
The basement not only contains the
necessary rooms for the furnaces, fuel,
storage, etc., but also has offices for
the City Chemist and Water & Light
Superintendent with one room allotted
to the Fire Department.
The first story of the building COM
prises mainly the Fire Department,
the Police Department, the offices al
loted to the City Clerk and also the
City Treasurer The offices of the
Clerk and Treasurer are the ones visi-
ted mostly by the public and therefore
were placed on the ground floor and
near the main entrance.
The doors of the Fire Hall face
Second Avenue East. The fire depart
ment contains an office, workroom and
dormitory in addition to the large
equipment room for the trucks.

white pine lumber and trimmed with

given over to the fire department and
the furnace room. In wing on the
first floor on the Second Avenue side
was the Office of the chief of police
The city Jail was housed in small
brick building on the alley side of
Second Avenue but was reached by
stairway from the main buildings
upper floor On the upper floor was
the council chamber and court room,
the city clerk and city treasurer in one
room, a room for the assessor and of
late years when it was remodeled, a
room was added for the clerk of the
district court and small room used
as a jury room when the court was In
session.
The dedication of the new building
took place on February 2, 1900 The
dedication consisted of grand ball in
the fire hall which was attended by
300 couples and filled the room to
standing room only" Flaatens eight
piece orchestra of Duluth furnished the
music and Ed. Fisher did the prompt
ing. A dinner was served at midnight
and dancing continued until daylight
in the morning and only ceased just in
time for the orchestra to catch their
train home. The train left at tbs.
Thos. Jury, at that time prominent
Ely contractor, was awarded the con-
tract for the erection of the city hall
on his lump bid of $4,000 After the
contract was let and the work begun,
several changes were made in the
plans. 1t was planned to have a gal
lery in the fire hall but this was abol-
iShed after the factory from which the
woodwork for the same was ordered
burned and no new material could be
prepared for Sevral months. In con-
sequence of the adjustment of the
gallery, several dollars were cut from
the contract price and the total cost
of the building was less than $4,000
or 500 less than the County of st.
Louis spent for furnishing the court
rooms in the new building just finished.
For thirty years, this building
erected at very small cost filled the

same be provided. With this idea in
view, a court room with jury rooms,
clerk of the court office room and
judges chamber have been provided in
the new building. The county did not
feel equal to building us court house
and the law prevented it from becom-
ing a partner in the eIertion of joint
structure.
In view of the facts, the County
Commissioners lent their whole hearted
support to the erection Of the city hall
building which wiz also serve the pur-
pose of a court he fer. Ely. IN adj
dition to furnishing the court loom,
jury rooms and clerk of the court office,
the county will pay a rental of 5000
per month for court purposes. Th2
county paid 500 per month for the
rental of the old building.
Mayor E. w. Hanson, who h3ld office
during the construction of the new
building was instrumental in inaug-
urating the building program. During
his regime the plan was foStered and
brought to a successful fruition. In
this he was ably assisted by Aldermen
Henning Olson, John Kapsch, Frank
Veranth, Jr., Harry Homer, Stephen
Banovetz and W. P. Wolff. The City
Council at all times during the letting
of the contracts and the construction

for the firemen as well as large
lounge room which will be used by
both police and firenen.
The police department contains cells
for men, women and juveniles in adj
dition to Chiefs Office, public space
and Sergeant's desk.
The second story of the building is
taken up by large room used for a
Council Chamber and Court Room,
with its accompanying Jury Rooms,
Judges Chamber, Clerk of the Courts
Office, etc. The City Engineer and
Assessor also have their offices on the
second floor. The Engineer and As
SCISSOR each have a work room, private
office and vault similar to space given
to the Clerk and Treasurer on the
first floor. In addition to the vaults
in each department, there is a large
storage vault in the basement for the
storage of old records.
Court held in Ely also made it neces-
sary that facilities for handling the
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1930-12-12

Other expenses incident to the new
city hall not enumerated above are
$40, $1,000 for Architect Edwin H. Berg;
$6,850.00 for the purchase of additional
ground from j. j. Seraphine and
$4,000 spent by the County of st.
Louis for the equipment of the court
room and jury rooms.
The structure as can be seen by
looking at the picture in another place
is a T-shaped building with the bot
tom of the T facing Chapman Street.
The size is approximately 100 feet
in width and 80 feet in depth and is
faced on the exterior with Bedford
stone on the three main fronts and
brick on the alley side.
The latest American style of archi-
lecture is employed in the design of
both exterior and interior of the build
ing and thus the absence of the CLASH
cal with its usual columns and projec-
ting cornices will be noticed in the ac-
companying picture. The new and
