Red Head Motor Co.

118-120 North Summit Street

The old Antiques Plus Mall at 118 N. Summit St. was built in 1912.

During the first half of the 20th century, the one-story red brick building adjoined a two-story brick structure to the north, 120 N. Summit St.

The northern building was operated since 1962 as the Osage Cleaners, when the dry cleaners moved there from another downtown location.

It was demolished in 2000, and the north wall of the mall building adjoining the south wall of the old dry cleaners building was torn down in 2002.

The entire site first operated as a garage. In 1920, the front half of the building was devoted to auto sales and the back half to auto repair.

In 1930, it was listed as the Red Head Motor Co. By 1938, three auto-related companies shared the space.

A chicken hatchery operated at the building from 1947 to 1952. First known as Potter Hatchery, Dale Arbuckle purchased the business in 1949 and ran it as Arbuckle Hatchery.

This commercial vernacular-style building features a stepped parapet at the roof level.
