Carl Richards' Garage

History
23
Carl Richards constructed this building in 1947 as his blacksmith shop, when auto garage work was only a sideline. He became known as Sedona's first 'Fire Chief' because he kept the town's first fire truck in his garage, and if there was a fire, someone had to find Carl to get the keys. The building also served as a community hall for town meetings and dances.
