The Lyons Garage was one of two "outstanding" buildings, both one story and both "done in polychrome brick of yellow and red", that "represent the Tudor Revival",[2] within the Downtown Grand Forks area whose historic resources were surveyed in 1981; the Northern Pacific Depot and Freight House is the other.[2]
There had been reported paranormal activity in the building, including the apparition of small man in overalls carrying an old oil can.
The property was demolished in February 2022,[4] and was delisted from the National Register in 2023.
