Griffin Auto Company Building

Source 📝

276:. It is a single story structure built out of reinforced concrete, with a full basement. The main floor housed the sales and showroom area, and the service area was in the basement. The building also includes a filling station area, which is the most decorative portion of the otherwise utilitarian structure. This area has pilastered columns that frame the automobile entry area, and the walls above the shelter entrance is decorated with bands of terra cotta and brick ornamentation. The Griffin Auto Company was established by three brothers from 75: 909: 100: 61: 920: 944: 107: 82: 280:, beginning as a livery stable business in 1899 before branching out into the new world of the automobile in 1915. They moved out of the building in 1960, since when it has been used by a variety of other sales-oriented businesses. In 2017, the Griffin Restaurant opened as part of the Murphy Arts District. Four years later, it became the MuleKick. 1019: 1044: 1029: 798: 893: 829: 813: 803: 1004: 951: 300: 1034: 888: 834: 475: 855: 757: 788: 722: 687: 762: 667: 627: 452: 727: 717: 712: 692: 808: 642: 557: 1049: 677: 672: 547: 767: 732: 637: 612: 752: 702: 682: 657: 647: 632: 622: 607: 587: 562: 552: 542: 1014: 772: 747: 652: 592: 572: 567: 537: 527: 707: 662: 602: 577: 532: 839: 737: 617: 582: 793: 742: 697: 597: 505: 490: 445: 1039: 985: 521: 1009: 923: 438: 140: 99: 913: 74: 1024: 485: 43: 288: 209: 978: 403: 347: 461: 328: 284: 34: 876: 971: 221: 881: 860: 379: 495: 500: 480: 333: 47: 1020:
