The recent reopening of the former Orpheum Theatre at Fergus Falls as the Fergus Theatre was noted in the April 8, 1950 issue of Boxoffice.

It is likely that the Orpheum was the theater project noted in the “Bids Desired” section of Engineering News-Record on March 25, 1920:

“Minn., Fergus Falls — Theatre — Until April 15, by J. B. Clinton, mgr. Clinton Investment Co., Torrey Bldg., constructing 2 story. 50 x 142 ft, brick, rein.-con. flooring and foundation, on Lincoln Ave. About $60,000. W. P. Allred, Fergusson Bldg., Duluth, archt. and engr. Noted Jan. 15.”

W. P. Allred also designed the Doric Theatre in Duluth.
