This building was constructed in 1923 for Branch Storage Company. It provided for better housing and easier loading of their trucks.
After Branch Storage Company moved out the building, it was home to a silk hosiery knitting operation, Berger and Berger Chrysler-Plymouth dealership, and the LeMans Raceway (Slot car racetrack)
From 1968-1990 Dudley Sports leased the building. Dudley installed cutting tables and machines used to cut covers for baseballs and softballs.
After Dudley moved out of the building, it became a furniture store woodworking repair shop.
In 1995, the building was purchased by Ragtops & Roadsters, a company restoring premier British automobiles.
