Old Ford Building? - in 1911 Henry Ford charted 100 initial dealerships and the Wray Dickinson dealership was, indeed, house one of them. The building was built in 1913. The Wray Dickinson Ford dealership was in this building for over 50-years until it moved, maybe in the 1960s to near the Municipal Auditorium only less than a mile away but, still near the downtown area. The Wray-Dickinson Ford Co. Still exists under the 1911 charter - Wray Ford, now across Red River in Bossier City.
As can be seen in the one frontal picture it is one fine looking building with excellent decor.
