History Built in 1913. The structure is a three story, 33676 square foot, commercial building. The 1887 city directory indicates that Mr. and Mrs. William Hendricks resided at the corner of Dale Street and Portland Avenue. William F. Clifford, Fletcher Graves, and Otto L. Winter were World War I veterans who resided at this address in 1919. The records of the 1919-1920 Minnesota World War I Soldier’s Bonus Board (#2392) indicate that Bayard F. Taber (1889- ,) a 1917 enlistee and a Sergeant First Class in 101st Aero Squadron A. S. A., who was born in Kendallville, Indiana, moved to Minnesota in 1914, had blue eyes, brown hair, and a medium fair complexion, was 5' 11" tall, was a clerk at induction, was an architectural draughtsman employed by E. H. Lundie after the completion of service, and was unmarried, resided at this address. The records of the 1919-1920 Minnesota World War I Soldier’s Bonus Board (#2916) indicate that Edwin F. Noth (1890- ,) a 1917 enlistee and a Sergeant in Battery B, 151st Field Artillery, who was born in Davenport, Iowa, had blue eyes, light hair, and a medium complexion, was 6' tall, was a architect at induction, served in the American Expeditionary Force in France, including the Marne, St. Mihiel, Champagne, Aisne, and Meuse-Argonne, was an architect employed by Toltz, King & Day at the Pioneer Building after the completion of service, and was unmarried, resided at this address. The 1920 city directory indicates that Andr D. Berkey, a live stock broker who officed at the Exchange Building, boarded at this address. The 1924 city directory indicates that S. H. Wilson resided at this address. Minnesota Historical Society records indicate that the St. John the Evangelist Episcopal Church Parish House was located at this address from 1929 to 1946, that the Minnesota Tuberculosis and Public Health Association and the Ramsey County Tuberculosis and Public Health Association were located at this address beginning in 1948. The 1930 city directory indicates that the St. John's Parish House was located at this address. Alice L. Taber, a resident of Davenport, Iowa in 1919, was the mother of Bayard F. Taber. George W. Noth, who resided in Davenport, Iowa, was the father of Edwin F. Noth. [1] Memories and Stories 614 Portland was the home of the American Lung Association. I worked there for a few years. I believe it was about 1980. There were a few small offices on the main floor. Those of us who worked with the mail first worked in the basement, part of which had been a swimming pool. We later moved to larger quarters on the main floor. Prior to the ALA, I recall that people could have Tuberculosis testing done there, and whatever follow-up was needed. The entrance to that clinic was on Dale Street and Portland, down a short stairway.
