@Big_John , have you ever been to this place? It is pretty close to you in Seneca Falls.
Sadly, the dealership has moved around 2018

to a fancy pants new place in Tyre.
Built in the 1870's as The National Yeast Co., assembly of the Iroquois automobile, auto repair shop, Chrysler dealer in the early 1900's, for 25 years. I remember an ancient wooden ramp going up from the doors at the far right, worn down by many a vehicle.

I've driven by it hundreds of times, but never was in. Last I knew, they were converting the building into apartments. Ground broken for Huntington Building housing project

I had to look up Iroquois Automobiles as I knew they started in Syracuse. Turns out their factory burnt in 1900, then moved to Seneca Falls in 1905. If there was anything left of the factory, I'm sure it was torn down when they built Rt 81 through the city. Leggett Carriage Co., Iroquois, J.S. Leggett Mfg. Co., Leggett Automobile, John S. Leggett, Syracuse, Brockville, Iroquois Automobile - CoachBuilt.com

We're due to make a run to the Amish store there!

I was there with a friend in 2014, at the time the second gen 200 came out. The first one I saw was in that showroom. There was also a Charger, and a Tesla model S that they told me belonged to the owner, but was being stored there. The "bar" was where the sales staff operated.
I'm glad the building is being converted to apartments.

Built 1932, no-distinctive architecture, former Clark & Sorrell Garage and Service Station, 323 Foster Street, Durham, NC.

ca. 1953

Today. .. associated recently with companies doing scientific business with Duke University. Rules it out as a "hobby house". Too pricey, commercial zoning.
