Seen it passing by today and thought maybe it was once some type of car dealer? The words sales and service are engraved in the limestone above the doors. Anyone know?

7040-7050 W Fort Street. Used to be Clark & Woolsey automobile dealer. Some sources say it was a Hudson dealer. A 1935 directory I have lists them as a Chrysler/Plymouth dealer.
That's the place! Thanks for the info.
Interesting building. Is it currenty vacant or at least being maintained? I can imagine a really nice facade once occupied the upper floor where it appears to be just rough cement/stone now.
Looks like she's for sale.
