This is a pretty common style for garages in the 1920s and 30s. This one has been here since at least 1926. In 1994 it was signed as Fus Auto Service using the motto "Don't Cuss, Call Gus!" At that time the light colored panel on the right with two sets of windows was filled large display windows and just to their left was looked like a 48 pane garage door. By 2013 both the display windows and garage door were gone.

xDid 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.
