Waugh Brothers Garage, Chesterton

Description:	Edward and William Waugh are seen outside their automobile garage around 1920. Located at the corner of Grant and Calumet and built by Henry Gotens, it also housed the Chesterton Hall, the site of many town meetings and dances. According to family tradition, Ed once repaired a truck driven by one of Al Capones gangsters during Prohibition, and was paid with an Elgin pocket-watch, which is still in the possession of a descendant.
