The Kearns Motor Car Factory in 1949/50
Sunday, 28 February 2010 18:59
In this snapshot we see Wayne "Shug" McCardle walking north on S. Center Street about 1950. On his right is the building that once housed, oldest to newer, (1) The Kearns Buggy Factory, (2) The Eureka Auto Buggy Co., and (3) The Kearns Motorcar Companies. This building was torn down in 1974. In the background stands the Beavertown Hotel (formerly the famed Central Hotel) and just north of the hotel stands what was once the livery stable for the hotel where travelers could rent a horse, or a horse and buggy, most usually, but not always, to peddle their wares. Four trains passed daily.
