My grandfather was Frank Mann here in Wallaceburg.
The garage was at 210 Lafontaine at the corner of Wellington St. The garage closed in 1984 and was torn down shortly after. As well, the house next to it to the north was torn down. That house was originally my great-grandfather’s, as he operated a livery stable where the garage stood starting in 1873. The garage was built in 1928, and additions added over the years. Frank sold English (Austin, MG, Triumph) cars starting in 1948, as well as Hudsons.
When the property was sold in 1984, a new building was built which was the Ambulance dispatch. It was later sold. Not sure what business is there today.
