Sign: Overland Willys Knight Service Station, 444 W. Willis--Detroit MI

            This structure, built in 1916 for the Overland Storage Company, and later used by Willys as a repair, service and storage facility, has been transformed into luxury lofts. I suppose the sign adds a bit of historical authenticity. It certainly cleaned up well.
