## Description

### Agent Description
Own a piece of Route 66 history in the heart of downtown Galena! The historic Smith & Moeller Building, also known as the Front Street Garage, offers approximately 5,250 square feet of commercial space at the highly visible corner of Main and Front Streets, directly across from Cars on the Route on the original alignment of Route 66. Built in 1896, the property originally served as a lumber and construction supply business during Galena's booming lead and zinc mining era. Today, its historic character remains evident, including the Smith & Moeller name on the cornice and vintage ghost signs still visible along the building. The property later entered its automotive era and became the Front Street Garage. Beginning in the 1930s, it operated as a Phillips 66 station offering fuel, tires and automotive services. During World War II, the property also housed an O.K. Rubber Welding tire-recap operation during a time of nationwide rubber rationing. Adding to its colorful history, local accounts connect the property to Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, who are said to have used the building as a temporary hideout following their activities in the Joplin area. The building also holds a unique connection to Route 66 pop culture. Its historic streetscape and ghost signs drew attention during research for Pixar's ''Cars,'' and the property sits directly across from one of Galena's best-known Route 66 attractions, Cars on the Route and its famous Tow Mater-inspired tow truck. With approximately 5,250 square feet of vacant space, prominent corner visibility and an exceptional location along historic Route 66, this property offers tremendous potential for adaptive reuse. Imagine a Route 66 destination, retail concept, museum, gallery, restaurant, event venue or other commercial venture that takes advantage of the steady flow of travelers exploring Galena and the Mother Road. With the Route 66 Centennial bringing renewed national and international attention to America's most famous highway, this is a rare opportunity to become part of its next chapter. More than a commercial building, 118 N Main St. offers history, character, visibility and a story that simply cannot be recreated.
