Leonard Moore was the mayor of Lorain from 1916 to 1918. He worked for the Lorain Lumber Company. His chief accomplishment was the purchase of the 42 acres of the Chamberlain farm on the shores of Lake Erie. He convinced the city to spend over $52,000 to purchase this land which is now Lakeview Park. This decision wasn't universally popular but anyone who has enjoyed going LakeView Park is thankful that he did.
