Potential uses according to Lam include realtors office, law office, commercial retail, mini-grocery and a banquet hall.
The building is a former Pontiac dealership that was in business from the early 1960s to 2010. The property used to have a large distinct neon sign for decades. It's hidden safe within the neon storage room off limits to the public at the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art. According to Roadside Peek, the well-known-to-longtime-locals neon Pontiac sign is one of the last remaining working signs that still display the original Pontiac logo.
