Masters Garage, (Coots Garage)

This structure no longer exists. However, this photo shows the garage known at the time as Coots' Garage. The damage was significant after the tornado of June 7, 1948. It was located in the northwest corner of College Street and Highway 31 in Henryville, Indiana.

The back of the photo reads: "Back of the garage belonging to M.V. Coots, formally to Elmer Masters."

According to Kaye Coots Amos Gray, her father, Louie Coots had worked for Mr. Masters before buying the business. Bank loans were hard to obtain at that time. However, Carl Dean who often stopped to visit, offered to personally loan him the amount needed.
