Early Garage
-----------------
Built in the early 1930's by Phillips Petroleum, it was the city's first
full-service garage. West of the gas station, it was brick with a wood-framed
vaulted ceiling. It was leased to "Hoot" Gipson who operated an auto repair
shop and 24-hour wrecker service. He also provided parking to the Hotel Seville
guests. In 1974, Phillips sold the garage to Wm. W. and Virginia Gregg. In
1998 it was purchased by Gordon and Kandy Gregg Webb as an annex to
Kandy's law office in the former gas station.

...and adjacent garage/auto repair building at 206-208-210 W. Ridge were constructed to accommodate the growing number of tourists and automobile traffic in the late 1920's andearly 1930's.
