It was built in 1929 to designs by local architect James P. Baugh for Judge Samuel A. Lindsey.","why_significant":"It is the only known Art Deco auto service and parking garage in Tyler and shows a modest interpretation of the style. It is also tied to Tyler's business community and its growth during the 1920s and the East Texas oil boom. It was judged locally significant under Criteria A and C.","narrative":"Built in 1929 at the corner of South College Avenue and West Elm Street, one block from the Smith County courthouse square in Tyler, this two-story garage served the city's growing number of motorists. Local architect James P. Baugh designed it for businessman and judge Samuel A. Lindsey. Buff brick piers divide the street facades into open bays, and metal-frame windows and restrained Art Deco foliate detailing at the parapet give it a modest decorative character. The ground floor held gasoline pumps and repair services, while the second floor could park 85 automobiles. A partial basement once housed a tire recapping service. It is the only known Art Deco auto service and parking garage in Tyler. Its significance rests on its architecture and its link to Tyler's business growth through the 1920s and the oil boom that followed the 1930 East Texas discovery. Few alterations have occurred, and the building still serves as a repair garage and parking facility.","period_of_significance":"1929-1952","architect_builder":"Baugh, James P.
