More Information
176 Garry Street was constructed in 1950. After many years the names of the architect and contractor have been lost. The walls and flooring were both constructed with concrete. The building appears to be a small, lonely block as its windows have been boarded up and it sits neighbourless. At a time this building was the home of Acme Radiator Service, the sign of which is still visible on the exterior.
