Additional Information: | Window on east-facing facade displays "highway service garage." A 1930 map indicates Joseph Misudek as the property owner. The garage is first indicated on a 1938 aerial map, and later on a 1961 map. It is possible that the building was initially erected in the 1890s as a store, town hall, or school, and moved to this location and remodeled in the 1930s. Various members of the Miisudek Family owned the property through at least 2000. No other historical info about the building was uncovered. |
