Constructed in 1927 as the home of Warren Chevrolet Sales, this building was owned and operated by Edward E. Schmidt, who sold automobiles along with accessories, tires, and gasoline. Born in Clinton Township in 1894, Schmidt moved to Warren in 1922 and served as a councilman for the Village of Warren in the mid-1920s. After the auto dealership moved to Mound Rd., the building housed a grinding wheel factory, the Warren Equipment Depot, and, for over 30 years, Friends Ceramics. In 2004, the property was purchased and renovated for Coliant Corporation, a purveyor of comfort and safety products for motorcycle enthusiasts.
