1915–1927
Willys-Overland Motors
Court International was erected in 1915 as a warehouse for the Overland Stoves Company of Toledo, Ohio, a subsidiary of the Willys-Overland Motor Company, which went on to make the original Jeep vehicle in the 1940s. The property was used for automobile sales and service from 1915 to 1928.
During WWI, the facility was used as an aviation training school. The property was also the venue for annual automobile shows until 1927.
1928–1952
International Harvester Company
The International Harvester Company of Chicago purchased the property in what was described as a million dollar deal in the summer of 1928 and used it for the sale and distribution of tractors, trucks, and other equipment through the early 1950s.
