Not sure when this storage building was built, the only clue is the type of construction used which dates somewhere between 1920-1939 The building at 145 Elizabeth Street at Cass, used to be an antique car and boat storage facility. Ghost signs and lighting fixtures seemed be be from the 1950’s-1960’s era. The last picture shows the Film Exchange Building. On the right are remains of the Harbor Light Salvation Army Mission and Hotel Eddystone.
Update
Demolition started in March of 2009.
