This building is in West Duluth. It was first the Duluth Show Case Company, a business of Julius Howland Barnes. This building later housed the Coolerator Company. The structure was remodeled and became Shoppers City in 1962. Kmart was later in this building. Today, it is the location of the West Duluth Menards. Menards gutted the building and added many more square feet to it. Menards is located at 503 North Fiftieth Avenue West.
