This building was originally built as the Hartwell REO Company, a garage and motor car showroom for the REO automobile. In the brochure, the truck shown is the REO Speedwagon, which was Hartwell�s first motorized fire truck. The REO automobile was designed by R.E. Olds, but unfortunately was not successful. However, Olds came back with a second more successful car design - the Oldsmobile. This building has had many incarnations over the years, and when it was remodeled in1976 as a law practice, it became the first (and still the only) building in town with a full-size indoor tree and garden.
