This property has been the location of vehicle-oriented businesses since 1870 when a blacksmith shop opened here.

This single-story, brick building was built in 1929, replacing the original wood garage.

It continued to house a garage and small motor repair shop until 1998.

The Swedish Heritage Museum acquired the building that year, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.
