description from the 2010 Doors Open Denver program:

This bridge-trussed building that now contains an antique store was one of Denver’s first automobile shops: a Chevrolet dealership. Its large beams and Spanish-style arched windows add to the antique feel. An additional location on South Lipan that stores salvaged antique architectural components was built in 1920 as a construction material warehouse, using iron trusses recycled from a railroad trestle and marked Carnegie Steel.
