Anton Werner Lignell

[5][7] They moved to Duluth, Minnesota, where he formed a partnership with Canadian architect Frederick German.

[12] Homes Lignell designed in Duluth include a large Flemish-style house at 202 North 24th Avenue East for Swedish immigrants Gust and Hanna Carlson and the Craftsman-style William and Margrette Cole residence at 2204 East 1st Street.

Mother Scholastica Kerst disapproved of the plans due to potential defects in the building's design, and the two architects were fired from the project in 1908; it was taken over by Franklin Ellerbe.

[9][14][15] Lignell partnered with Clyde Wetmore Kelly beginning in 1909,[16] designing the Cook County Courthouse in Grand Marais, Minnesota.

[20] Architect Thomas J. Shefchik, designer of the Duluth City Hall, started his architectural career as a draftsman for Lignell and Kelly.
