The 2012/13 Route 66 in Illinois IDOT survey estimates the building is
from the 30s and may have been a garage. When we snapped this photo in
2016 the sign on the building said it was the "Best of America Village
Car Wash". That sign was gone when we went by in 2023.

Did
You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane
road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned
lanes are still there.
