On This Date in Minnesota History: June 16

June 16, 1962 – “The $100,000 restaurant The Sky Room opened [on this date] by Mr. & Mrs. Jerome J. LaPlante at 1144 Mesaba Avenue [in Duluth]. The decor was based upon a panoramic view of the Duluth harbor, sky and stars with a seating capacity of 160. It was sold and bought and sold and evolved, but was always a restaurant. Finally, it was called the Buena Vista Restaurant and Motel, but was sold for its site - meaning its view. Construction of condominiums was underway in 2005.”
