Didn't It Already Have One?

Paul Newman was selling Fords, among other things, in the winter of 1921. He sold one of them to John Ensign.

Paul's business was doing well, apparently, since he was "planning to build a second story on his garage building." According to the 1979 oral history, his garage was the Third Street part of the building at Third and Center streets. And here I was, thinking that place always had a second floor!
