118 N. Main

E. C. Gavitt opened Gavitt Automobile Co in 1907 at 118-120 N. Main. The Evening Kansan Republican noted that the newly constructed brick building was "a regular city garage, as modern in arrangement and as fully equipped as the biggest city garages of the east."

Today it is home to the McDonald law offices.
