Irving Moore Memorial Building

1966

This view of downtown Duluth from 1966 shows Superior Street looking west from Third Avenue West:

The Alworth Building is at left (the Lonsdale Building on the corner, with which it now shares a lower-level facade, it out of the frame). The Torrey and Medical Arts buildings are down the street. But in between is a little building with Ionic columns and a sign reading: "Irving Moore Memorial":

That building is gone today, or at least reduced in size; the present building on that site is only two stories.

Some searching in the News Tribune archives and on Google turned up virtually nothing on "Irving Moore Memorial," or "Irving Moore" for that matter. So... can anyone out there fill in the blanks? Who was Irving Moore, and what happened to that building?
