| Biography/History | "Crossing Seventh Street S., the next two buildings are side-by-side on the south side of Main Avenue. The Shields Block, 714 Main, was built between 1905-1910 and probably designed by Andrew J. O'Shea, who designed a similar building, the McKone block, at 206 Broadway. Note the stamped metal spandrels under the windows between each floor. David W. Shields, a shoemaker and investor, was the son-in-law of Peter Luger, owner of the old Luger Furniture Store at 716 Main, next door. Luger built in High Victorian Gothic style. The Luger store has a very vertical mass and an inset Gothic arch on the front facade. This style was very popular when the building was erected in 1882." - Fargo's Heritage, by Norene A. Roberts. 1983, p. 53. |
