| Additional Information: | A 'site file' exists for this property. It contains additional information such as correspondence, newspaper clippings, or historical information. It is a public record and may be viewed in person at the State Historical Society, Division of Historic Preservation. Another example of the car dealership buildings grouped on the north section of Main St. The decoration of this brick structure is less overtly Art Deco than is 570 N. Main (OS 13/24). However, the parapet suggests this period. The retention of the Buick Cadillac sign is an important element of the design. |
