History

[edit]

The building was constructed for automobile sales and repairs.[2] From 1917 to 1975, multiple auto-related businesses ran their operations from the site. In 1977, the upper portion of the building was converted into apartments and in 1980, what was once a showroom was converted into a bar and restaurant. Additionally, other parts of the building are now used for religious functions and the basement serves as a parking garage.
