Description
Black and white photograph of Palmer Leland "Richey" Richarson's garage, Richey's Garage. His daughter Rita Richardson recalls the garage "Dad's garage was 24 hours. When he wasn't there, my two brothers were there, Mateo Guzman and Leland Richardson. They would kind of let dad have some rest while he went home to eat and sleep, or he slept right there in the garage many times too. But being 24 hours it was miserable. He got all of the accidents from all over the area. He had a great Maxwell touring car that was a tow truck." (Vasquez and Carpio, 40) On the back of the photograph it reads "1930's Looking So. East. Richey's Garage 17 W. Central Ave, Redlands Blvd. Richey was Palmer Leland Richardson born in S. Dakota 1885 April 8, Leland Richardson spent many sleepless nights here taking care of cars coming in from the Posada Hotel, new then."
