The original structure was built at the corner of Washington Street and W. Evergreen Blvd in 1920 as a two-story Ford Dealership with a showroom on the ground floor and service area upstairs. In order to reach the second floor repair stations, cars drove up a permanent incline accessed through a set of garage doors on W. Evergreen Blvd. This approach did away with the need for elevators.
In June of 1920 it was the official home to the Shattuck-Dickson Ford Agency, Universal Auto and Fordson Tractors. It would serve as built for nine years before the owners decided to expand. A new structure was begun in 1929. The new building's exterior was designed to visually match that of the original one. It was two-story, but instead of brick, the exterior consists of scored concrete that mimics stonework. The building was the start of a longtime downtown association with Ford. The corner would become known as Ford Corner until 1986.
Listed in the Clark County Heritage Register in 2015.
