This 1925 building was a garage and auto dealership called "Pond Motors". The first owner was Dick Dean. Both of the overhead garage doors have been replaced with modern style doors. There's room under the canopy for a car to drive through which makes me wonder if there were gas pumps on the island like concrete footing for the columns. That would have been common when the building was constructed. The building is across the street from the The Big Chief and may well have service their patrons cars

x About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
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.
