    I believe that should read "Dillehay's" Garage. I grew up on Erwin Rd and attended Southside in the early '40s. Great website!

Located directly across Erwin Road from Southside School, Dillehay's garage was likely built ~1930, and was demolished in 1950, during the construction of the Graduate Men's Dormitory in 1950.

It is currently part of a very large swath of surface parking.
