Looking for a few facts about an old building. Hoping someone on here can help.
Here's what I know:
Original family owned this building from 1920s off and on til the late 1990s
Was previously a gas station, a warehouse/facility for commercial & auto batteries
Property consist of 2 buildings, the original building and a long metal building.
Second floor was added on after the 1920s (not sure date)
Roof Structure is a Lamella Roof Design with tension cables tying the base together. I haven't confirmed the architect, but Gustel Kiewitt did the design of this type of roof structure.
