This Studebaker Building was built in 1920 as a Studebaker dealership. The five-story building faced with terra cotta was converted into apartments in 2000 and the ground floors were somewhat remodeled. The building still retains its Studebaker wagon wheel logos below the roof. For more, see this website.

Pleasantville, NJ

Studebaker Building
Asbury Park, NJ		 Studebaker Building
Holyoke, MA
The Asbury Park Studebaker Building seems a little plainer than most. It was probably refaced at some point and stripped of a cornice and other details. I believe this building is from the late 1920s. It appears to be used as a warehouse now.

This Holyoke Studebaker Building might have been a manufacturing plant and not a showroom. Does anyone know its history?
