Community
The Depot has been a part of our community here in Duluth and St. Louis County for well over 100 years. We have hosted Duluth Superior Pride, Mayoral State-of-the-Cities, charity events, arts events, and many private events in our Great Hall.
Part of our goal is to be a warm, beautiful, and inspiring space for all our guests, and we welcome you!
Rentable Space
The St. Louis County Depot has rentable space! We offer room for small-to-medium sized gatherings in unique spaces right in the heart of Duluth’s Downtown and adjacent to the waterfront.
Currently, we offer three spaces:
The Boardroom
Located on the Fourth floor of the original Union Depot, amid the world-class rotating Duluth Art Institute exhibition spaces, the boardroom has elevator access, Wifi, projector and screen, and teleconference technologies. The boardroom comfortably fits 18 around the oak board table, but has seating room for 25. The boardroom overlooks Michigan Street with large windows, and has a view of the Duluth Public Library and the Duluth Civic Center, including City Hall and the County Courthouse. You may bring in ready to eat food and beverage, and there is a counter area to stage these items.
Rates: $50/hour, minimum of one hour.
The Great Hall
The Great Hall is a large, open space with spectacular 80-foot ceilings, original terracotta flooring, two original fireplaces, a portico entrance, and architectural details abounding! It is a wonderful space for community events, fundraisers, special exhibits, speakers, and educational seminars. The Great Hall has tables and chairs for up to 200 people, a small, private preparation space with sinks and NSF tables and refrigeration, and two adjoining hallways for check-ins, merchandise, or guest spillover. For folks who are interested in renting the Great Hall, please read our Guide to Special Events Planning at St. Louis County Depot. Events hosted during open hours must be open to the public to participate. If you think your event would be a good fit for the Great Hall, please fill out a Special Event Request Form and submit it to the email address listed on the form.
The Classroom
The Depot Classroom is a large, adaptable space that features tables and chairs for 30, a large, moveable chalkboard, natural light, a large sink, and durable, cleanable flooring. It also has lightning-fast wifi. This secluded area allows for lots of room to play, recite, paint, dance, plant, and GROW!
Rates: $50/hour, minimum of one hour.
