About the host
Hosted by Tiegen Brickson
Started by Tiegen and Keenan Brickson in 2022, The Brix is Canal Park's leader in elevated Duluth stays. Canal Park isn't just a destination for us—it's where our story began. Our brand honors the enduring legacy of the 1890s Marshall Wells Hardware buildings we call home, while also reflecting our family’s commitment to revitalizing the district and shaping a new era in Duluth’s hospitality landscape
Now, as we expand our footprint in Canal Park with more vacation rentals under development and management, we're not merely building accommodations; we're curating experiences, sharing our warmth, and hopefully inspiring someone else to take a big leap.
