Then & Now: Hyattsville

Doc White opened White House Garage at 132 Maryland Avenue (5323 Baltimore Avenue) shortly before 1920; it was Hyattsville's second sales agency and full service gas station. White sold Hudson Super Six and Essex autos. 

The building was operated continuously for auto service and sales. Its owners included Harry and Ruth Fleming of H.C. Fleming Motor Company from 1927 to 1931, who expanded service for 40 cars and sold Dodge Brothers and Graham. 

Hyattsville Auto Supply Company took over selling Buicks and Pontiacs and in the 1950s it operated as Fields Buick. In 1988, the building was purchased for the Lustine complex. It was demolished in 2006.
