Owens Garage was built by Murray Owens in 1926 in East Austin. Owens operated the garage until 1991. The building was redeveloped in 2013 into a creative space, but the designers kept its original sign. The day we walked by, the new owners were outside and they let us peek inside that orange door to check out a huge black-and-white photo of the garage taken in the 1930s, with cars lined up waiting for service from mechanics clean, white jumpsuits (bet they didn't stay white for long).
