Originally the building on the right (seen being demolished) at 201 Fifth Street in downtown Ames was occupied by the Allen Motor Company, a Chevrolet dealership and garage. In 1970, it became Benson Motor Inc. Here, in 1984, it is being torn down to accommodate the expansion of the Ames Public Library which can be seen in this photograph to the north on Sixth Street.
