When I was in the Market on Saturday, Gary Ptak, President of the Adam Mickiewicz Library, gave me a piece of paper that was part of an invite to an “Open House Party” to Marsh Motors from 1936.
Marsh Motor Corporation was located at 653-655 Fillmore.
Yesterday…I stopped by and took a pic of the building and scanned the invite to share both with you.
A quick search on the internet revealed that Marsh had a couple other dealerships in Buffalo.
The building itself looks in bad shape.

He and his wife, Anna J. Harris, grew up Clarence.
“We’re died-in-the-wool suburbanites,” she said. “But I’ve always liked the idea of living in the city. I don’t mind living in nitty-gritty surroundings.”
