Chrysler Building

B.1925

The Washburn-Haines Company built this structure to showcase their preeminent Chrysler auto dealership, so special that Walter Chrysler himself came out for the opening on November 29, 1925. This building continued to house automobile sales and service until February 1989, when it was sold by the Rahe family to the current owner, Hunters Capital.
