Overview

This historical property, originally the first mechanic garage in Houston, is zoned commercial. Constructed in 1909, the building retains its original timbers, iron connectors, and supports. Remodeled with a new roof and iron and glass commercial windows, the 40 x 80 building maintains its original character. It is divided into two sections by a large barn door on iron rails and includes a separate office with mirrored windows. The property has been a good investment, currently renting for $1,000 per month. Parking is available for six cars in front, with additional parking on the side. The front garage door accommodates large trucks, while the back garage door is for noncommercial vehicles. Updated electric and lighting are in place, and a new Clayton Wood stove provides heat. Originally built as a mechanic garage, the building still has the original iron hoist. It has also been used as a motorcycle shop and a tree removal business, and offers potential for various other uses.
