Arimo Block

Built in 1913, the Arimo Block was reportedly named after a local Shoshone chief and became an early commercial center in Logan. Martinus Fonnesbeck established one of the first businesses there, the Fonnesbeck Knitting Works, and other original tenants included Harris Music, A.H. Palmer Plumbing, and the Arimo Pool Hall in the knitting works basement. The pool hall had Logan's only bowling alley, and advertisements promoted it as "the most popular place in town." In 1915, Logan City established its city offices there and kept them in the building until 1963. Over the next century, the building housed many firms, including engineering and electrical companies in the 1920s, building supply and road construction firms in the 1940s, and United States Department of the Interior Geological Survey and Water Resources programs in the 1960s. A.H. Palmer and Sons is the only original occupant still maintaining its business there.
