This stylish California Mission–styled former auto dealership takes advantage of its prime downtown location, extending for half a city block with plate glass display windows. The one-story, white stucco building has two entrances with Alamo-scroll tops and end bays that turn the corners. Red barrel-tile shed roofs span the facade between the entrances.
