I am not yet convinced it is pretty. Also I think "Auglaize" should be pronounced "oh-GLAY-zee" instead of "AW-glaze," which sounds awful to my ears, and which clumsily interrupts the rhythm and flow of any phrase or sentence in which it occurs.

Well, according to Sanborn fire insurance maps, it looks like the building was here by 1884 and was later occupied by a carriage factory, and later the Defiance Glove & Mitten Works. Google Maps and the Defiance County Auditor's property search website identify the building as Gary's Auto Repair. I nearly fell asleep researching this.

Look at the long shadow of that light fixture.
