| Additional Information: | Einar Dahl was born in 1888 in Nesna, Hlegeland, Norway, and moved to Minnesota in 1911. He moved to Racine in 1916 and within two years established a business with Magnus Jensen (known as Dahl & Jensen) and together they advertised themselves as general contractors, architects and plumbers. By 1927, Dahl was no longer working with Jensen. Dahl designed the Roosevelt Theater Block (1928) at 2908-2912 Roosevelt Road. Dahl died in May 1977. |
