"The simple automobile-related 20th century commercial building has a brick front and concrete sidewalls, trim and foundation. Two big show windows and a center door to accommodate automobiles define the three bays of the main elevation. This building is a typical example of early twentieth century commercial vernacular architecture, particularly applicable to automobile-related structures. Built between 1912 and 1926, this garage had a capacity of ten cars. The building was constructed by Kurt Jensen. Jensen also constructed the Roe Building (288 East Main Street), which is similar in style to this garage.
This garage also represents the transition the residents of Stoughton had to make from a local economy based on wagon manufacturing to an economy incorporating the growing demand for and use of automobiles." Rebecca Sample Bernstein for the City of Stoughton Landmarks Commission and Downtown Revitalization Association, Historic Main Street: An Architectural & Historical Guide to Downtown Stoughton, 1991.
