Additional Comments
This 2-story Astylistic Utilitarian building was constructed in 1928 as a garage and filling station . It is rectangular in plan
with brick walls and a flat roof. The front elevation faces southeast and is asymmetrical in plan; most of the first story of
the facade is recessed under the second story with a brick pier support at the eastern corner. Within this recess are a
small garage door, two individual doors, a large picture window, and a pair of shop windows. Two additional windows or
doors have been removed, as have transom windows over both remaining doors. The second story contains a pair of
sliding glass doors with small metal balconies at each end and two banks of three large glass panel windows between.

Resurveyed August 2012; changes include the replacement of all original multi-pane windows with modern glass panel windows and the removal of doors and transom windows from the first story façade.
