Opened in 1941 by the Minnesota Amusement Co., the Nor Shor won a bronze plaque award from the Theater Catalog in its 1942 edition. Designed by Liebenberg & Kaplan, the Nor Shor sported an impressive tower and a "milk bar." Signage was by Eitel & Franz, and Salmio & Dahlberg did the decorating. The theater, which initially seated 1,300, was built for $140,000.
