Friends, we need your help! We have been trying to locate more information on two buildings for an upcoming project, and can't seem to find anything definitive.

Our wonderful friend, Leah Boyden at Bexley Public Library, found some information (thank you Leah!) included below, but we're looking for dates for two buildings - the gas station at 2516 East Main Street and the original Municipal Garage.

Would any of you know?

Happy Mother's Day!
