It would be interesting to see more dealership interior pictures such as the couple in your 1909 post. Thanks for posting them. Art

Wonder how the radiator made out on that pic with the wrecker pulling a roadster?

Any idea where #3 pic was taken?
That is a VERY ornate building for what looks like a barren prairie town. All that brickwork must have been pretty expensive when you could have just ordered a plain brick front.
Wonder if it's still standing somewhere?.

Bill

Correct me if I am wrong, but I understand that 120 years ago labor was cheap. The cost of those bricks on #3 was probably more than the labor to make it look like that. If you had a contractor, who was also the bricklayer, he might have been talented enough to do that brickwork. In a lot of small towns you can look around and find one or two buildings more ornate than others. I think it is picture #10 where you can see a lot of ornate brickwork that was done on the 2 story facade of that building even though the building was only 1 story tall. You just have to have the talent. My father and grandfather were bricklayers. My mother tells us my grandfather had that type of talent. He could make a wall look like nature had put it there.

You hit upon a real gripe of mine with the brick detail comments. There
was a time in America where it was stylish to care. Over the past 100 years,
we have slowly moved to a point where all anyone cares about is convenience
and cheap. Give me vinyl siding, or give me death ! 😑
