Additional Information: | 2020 - Resurveyed by UWM-CRM as part of the North Avenue Bridge rehabilitation project. This one-story automotive shop was built in 1961. The building is roughly triangular in plan, corresponding to the three-sided parcel formed by North Ave., Bartlett Ave., and the former railroad right-of-way, now the Oak Leaf Trail. The building is constructed of concrete block and has a flat roof. The North Avenue elevation contains a single fixed-light window, a double-wide vehicle bay, and a separate single vehicle bay, all with steel lintels and overhead doors. The north elevation contains a single vehicle bay with overhead door and a smaller pedestrian entry door. The east (Oak Leaf Trail) elevation contains an entry door, and the west (Bartlett Ave.) elevation is blank. The building also contains two wall-mounted and one roof-mounted signs for Valvoline Instant Oil Change, its current occupant. Inside, the building has exposed concrete block walls, a concrete floor, and several lower-level service pits. |
