former dealership Greenview, IL |
This building appears to be a former dealership. Does anyone know when it was built and what was here originally? [map] |
Boyd Music Jacksonville, IL |
|
Boyd Music had occupied this building since 1953. I assume from the attached building with service bays that this was a car dealership originally. The building now houses BLH Computers. [map] |

These photos ofTerry Bentz Buick are from 2012. In 2023, the dealership stopped selling Buicks and became a used car dealership. These signs are gone now and the building has been painted white. [map] |

Sunrise Chevrolet [gone] Midlothian, IL |
Sunrise Chevrolet's Midlothian dealership appeared to be from the 1960s. The dealership was closed when this photo was taken in 2009. By 2013, the lot was bare. |
Garage Monticello, IL |
|
This Garage was built in 1916. It may have housed a Ford dealership later on. It is now used for a variety of businesses. Winged wheels were a common design element used in garage designs. Another example is the Gutberlet Chevrolet building in McConnelsville, OH. [map] |
Ford dealership Murphysboro, IL |
Ford dealership Nokomis, IL |
This heavily remodeled, former Ford dealership in Murphysboro now houses the Davis-McCann Center. [map]
The Ford dealership in Nokomis housed McDavid Ford by the mid-1950s. I don't know what dealership was here originally. After McDavid, the building housed Heck Ford and Putnam-Wright Ford. It last housed Miles Ford. The building has been vacant since at least 2013. [map] |

Hill Motors [gone] |

I've been told that this building was origially built as a Dodge dealership but I find nothing online about that. The building has housed a Habitat for Humanity thrift store since at least 2007. [map] |
