It is a large, one-story, L-shaped, brick, flat-roof building set on the north side of Westminster Street. The building features a long, rectangular, brick and concrete block, one-story ell extending from its west elevation. The building’s primary entrance is centrally located on its nine-bay façade, within a recessed opening flanked by single-light sidelights. The recessed opening is clad in checkerboard ceramic tiles. The building is minimally detailed with concrete lozenge-shaped panels along the cornice line and decorative bands of brick work. Fenestration is comprised of rectangular, fixed, single-light sash windows on the façade. The side elevation features projecting brick piers between each bay. A loading dock and vehicular entrances are located on the building’s rear elevation.

The Westminster Garage has been home to many auto-related industries over the years (primarily car dealers). The initial owner and builder of the Westminster Street Garage was the Dodge and Camfield Company. They erected the building around 1924. The 1926 map shows the building and identifies it as the Westminster Garage, owned by G.A. (George A.) Bridges. Subsequent owners included Wayland Auto Station (1930-1932), Frank Motor Company (ca. 1937), and the Manor Motor Sales Company (1940-1948). An advertisement for Manor Motor Sales lists the Comet, an English Ford line, along with Mercury and other used cars. The 1952 city directory lists Manor Motor as a Packard Motor Car Dealer; the firm was run by the property’s owner, William Mambro.

The building ceased being used for the auto industry when it was bought by City Hall Hardware. City Hall Hardware housed their store at the 1229 Westminster Street location from 1963 to 1979. The current occupants of the building are Carloon Design, Quest Communications, and Paper & Provisions.
