They’re building a Dodge Jeep dealership I haven’t been by there since April when I took this picture. At one time they were the largest Ford Truck dealer in Northern New England.

That's too bad, as that was common architecture for a time in the Pacific Northwest. Several of those old-time Seattle car dealers were in the same kinds of buildings, and though the dealers moved to bigger digs or went out of business, the buildings themselves have been getting renovations over the last twenty years.
