Description

Granger Auto Court #23 on the walking tour. In 1923 the Steeple Church property was purchased by Clara Granger. The church was razed and the wood was used to build the Granger Auto Court. The court had ten cabins with covered carport between them. A garage was built on the northwest corner of the lot and a gas station was built between the cabins and the garage. Over the years the property changed ownership, improvements were made and the name was changed to the Wagon Wheel Motel. It changed hands several more times and operated as the Wagon Wheel Apartments. Eventually most of the cabins were gone, and the office was operated as "His and Hers Collectibles". In 1997 the Mesquite Fire Department burned it down as a training exercise.
