		+
		+	People today might not have thought of this, but before the automobile there was no reason for people to build an garage-sized accommodation for any automobile-sized objects. Barns and machine-sheds existed for farmers, horse owners had stables, but there weren't any custom buildings for automobiles as are so common today.
		+
		+	The Rusk Auto-House is an example from a local manufacturer that contributed to early automotive history.

I've both walked and driven past this location, but 702-704 Broadway appears to be a Meritcare parking lot today. I will look more when I have more time to explore the alleys in this neighborhood. As this building is not in the current National Register of Historic Places, I suspect it was destroyed or moved. Its architect was listed as "Fargo Cornice and Ornament Co., Hancock Brothers."
