The old Oliver Springs Motor Company or Abston Garage is now home to the Oliver Springs Historical Society. They had some event going on while I was taking this picture.
The property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Overview from the nomination form:
The Abston Garage, originally built as a commercial garage c. 1922 by Thomas Franklin (T.F.) Abston, is a familiar landmark in the community Oliver Springs, Roane County, Tennessee (2008 population approx. 3,300). It occupies a prominent location in town, on the opposite side of the railroad tracks from Main Street. It is located on Kingston Avenue, the old State Highway 61, once a major thoroughfare from Clinton to Harriman that passes through Oliver Springs. Since its construction, the Abston Garage has served as a commercial garage to sell and service cars and auto parts, and as a bus stop both for a Greyhound and a local bus line. Capitalizing on the proliferation of the automobile in the 1910s and 1920s, it represents early trends in combined automobile dealerships and service centers. In addition to commerce and transportation, the Abston Garage also met several entertainment and social needs of citizens. Particularly important during the World War II years as a local venue for popular recreational activities, the building served as a performance venue, movie theater, bowling alley, church meeting place, and snack bar. It was important as a community center. The Abston Garage is also important as an intact example of an early automobile-related building. The building retains the characteristic showcase windows and interior spacing that are character defining features of the form. The period of significance ranges from its construction c. 1922 until 1959.
