THE OLIVE STREET GARAGE : AUTO SALES & SERVICE 1921-39

Marcia,
The Town of Reading is in the final days of submitting 100 Form Bs to MHC in order to expand our existing Historical and Architectural Inventory.
Among the properties that we are adding is a auto dealer showroom built in 1930, very similar to the one below in Greenfield.
I have attached a current photo of the dealership.
Hope this helps.
Kathy Greenfield
Chairman
Reading Historical Commission

Hello,

 

This 1923 Art Deco auto showroom with garage behind was built as the "new" Mohawk Trail, one block north on Main Street, sparked new activity in Greenfield. It sold a range of autos until becoming an auto parts store in 1939. It is now threatened, and to help assess its architectural value, the Greenfield Historical Commission would like to find other examples. Does it look familiar to anyone?
