[1] The Cass Motor Sales Company was established in 1925 as a Chrysler car dealership[2] by Richard A. Cott, an immigrant from England.

Richard A. Cott died in 1965, and in 1969 Cass Motor Sales ceased operations.

[5] The Cass Motor Sales is a three-story rectangular structure, typifying Art Deco architecture as applied to commercial buildings.

[2] The building was designed as an integrated showroom, sales office, and service center.

The building once had an attractive facade of black marble and colored plates,[7] with the marble running across the base of the bay sections, and black colored metal panels providing a decorative separation between the first and second stories.
