Significance
Built in 1911. Corvallis' oldest auto garage. When it was built it was called the largest and most up-to-date garage in the state. Built by the Corvallis and Philomath Auto Company. Manager was C.O. Hathaway who sold Overland cars. The building was "fireproof" but none-the-less suffered a fire shortly after it was completed. Today the building has been extensively remodeled. Early photographs of this building illustrate how early auto garages resembled livery stables in appearance.
