The Delvic Building is a historic building in Hibbing, Minnesota. It was built in 1922. Back then, Hibbing was a "company town." This means a big company, U.S. Steel, owned most of the town. They even designed the shops and homes.
This was unusual because in most company towns, like Coleraine, Minnesota, the company only built homes for workers. Private businesses usually built the shops. The Delvic Building is special because it shows how U.S. Steel planned everything in Hibbing.
The Delvic Building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This is a list of important places in the United States. It was added because it shows how businesses and towns grew in Hibbing. It also shows how companies started to control more of a town's development.
