| Moor, Robert James (b.1892 - d.1971) |
| Architect, Greenwood, MS |
| Born in Chicago, IL, he attended the Art Institute (or Armour Institute, in newspaper article), 1912-1913, before becoming a draftsman for John A. Nyden, 1914-1915, and then a Draftsman-Designer for the Architect of the Rock Island RR in 1916. Perhaps through this work, he met FRANK P. GATES and worked in his office (in Clarksdale) in 1917 as Chief Draftsman and Designer. He served during WWI in the 256th Aero Squadron, 1917-1918. He returned to the MS Delta to work as "Ch. Of Br." for CHARLES A. PFIEL's Memphis firm in Clarksdale, essentially a branch office? in the years 1919-1923. He then briefly worked for FRANK R. MCGEOY in 1924, another Memphis architect with a branch office in Greenwood. In 1925, he began practicing independently and continued for the rest of his career in Greenwood. Married in 1923, he had three children. He was a member of the Episcopal Church, and an early member of the Mississippi AIA, serving as its president in 1940. AIA membership address in 1962 at Destin, FL, but he died in Greenwood. See American Architects Directory, 1956. See also Greenwood Commonwealth Delta Review June 1929, Section C, p. 2. |
