Dr. Carlton Mast, circa 1940

Posted on by

Dr. Carlton Mast operated his chiropractic practice out of this building at 7434 N. Charleston St. for many years, into the 1970s. The St. Johns-area building still exists, with some structural changes, but it retains its distinctive glass block front windows. VP fan Justin Wassinger purchased a photo album at an estate sale last year and then found it once belonged to Dr. Mast.

  1. I was wondering what was in the old building next to the former St Johns Honda? I know Albertsons use to be across the street in the former children services building.

    It looks like a old car dealership from the 40’s, on the SW corner of N Lombard and Tyler. Are there any photos of the old dealership?

  2. It’s now a Finnish Services church, right between the St. Johns Library and Weir’s Cyclery. It’s grown up a story, and has an addition in back as well.

    This was the Gardner Ford dealership. Up until a few years ago their name was still on the side of the building. When the building was repainted we lost a little bit of history.

  4. thanks Jim

    I did some research on line at the library and it was only Gardner ford for around 3 or 4 years. Before that HARBOR Motors built the building and ran it from 1948 to 58 until Gardner ford bought it. I looks like Gardner ford had a auction and sold everything, when they closed.
