Then and Now #2 - The Adams Building

---

📍The Adams Auto Supply Building 🚗 located at 440 Locust Street, constructed in the mid 1910s 🛠️ at the same time as the Livingston County Library building📚. The building gets its name from C. F. “Frank” Adams, later the mayor, whose family owned a number of businesses in Chillicothe over the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The building contained an auto repair shop🔧 and a showroom (on the second floor). In 1928 the building was purchased by Montgomery Ward and the interior was remodeled🧱. They remained in the building until 1975 after which the building served a number of purposes from a senior center to today with Lifepoint Church using the property.Originally posted by Main Street Chillicothe via Locable
