Babcock Garage, c. 1920

Built in 1917 for Berton "Burt" Babcock, and occupied by the Babcock Garage and a Hudson and Essex Motor Car dealership. The business was sold to John E. Varnedoe in May 1925 and he opened at a new location. A second story (seen here) was added to the building in July 1925.

This building was demolished in preparation for the widening of the Roosevelt Bridge in 1993. Handwritten on back: "Triangle building, Mrs. Curly furniture store." Also called the Flatiron Building.
