On Friday we took a brick out of the building, and we were all cheering. OK, you may say, what’s the big deal? Let me explain a little about the history of the building to help you understand what led to our reaction.
The Green Garage building was constructed in 1920, a boom time for Detroit with the burgeoning auto industry. For a year it was the home of the DeFord Motor Truck Company, and then became a sales center for the Ames-built Sales Corporation, which made bodies for Model T cars. This is why it’s on the National Register of Historic Places. Here’s what it looked like in 1920. Notice the windows.
