Duluth City Council Approves Tiffany Window Sale

DULUTH, Minn. (AP) ― The Duluth City Council has agreed to sell a Tiffany stained glass window that could bring the city up to $3 million.
  
The "Minnehaha" window is currently housed at the Depot in Duluth. Mayor Don Ness has favored selling it to help the city repair its budget deficit and build up its reserve fund.
  
The window, which is portrait of an American Indian woman standing before Minnehaha Falls in Minneapolis, was donated to the city in 1902.
  
The council passed a resolution early Tuesday allowing the window to be sold. During a marathon council meeting, many spoke out against the sale, arguing that it's an important part of the city's history.
  
Council member Sharla Gardner says she hopes a local investor will buy the window.
  
The resolution says only that the window will go to the highest bidder.
