Baublitz Garage, built in 1905 by Samuel T. Baublitz, was the first garage built between Baltimore and Washington on Route 1, then called the Washington & Baltimore Turnpike. On one occasion, George Herman "Babe" Ruth stopped there to have his car repaired. The garage was later purchased by Fred Frederick and expanded into a Chrysler-Plymouth dealership.
