Scope and content
Blake, Moffitt & Towne warehouse. Blake, Moffitt & Towne moved their facilities out to Thorne Rd. in the Tideflats in the summer of 1954. They had previously been located on the 1700 block of Jefferson Avenue. Blake, Moffitt & Towne were wholesale distributors of printing and wrapping paper and stationery. Their modern one-story 40,000 square foot building was constructed of reinforced concrete block. It would provide plenty of room for warehouse and office operations. There would also be a large parking lot for customer convenience. A spur track would be available for rail deliveries. (TNT 7-18-54, C-15)
