Demolished during Urban Renewal
Gards was originally at 514 Francis Street in the Pioneer Building
Gard Business University later moved to the SW corner of 9th & Frederick
Urban Renewal removed this entire block of buildings and created a parking lot
The upper level has been deemed unsafe and has been blocked off now for years
The city is still debating what to do about it
Gards was located across 9th Street from the Trail theater
Looking at the photo #2, 9th Street was once a 2 way street
