The Ormond Garage, also known as Gasoline Alley, was built in 1903 on the Hotel Ormond property in Ormond Beach, Florida. It served as a hub for the preparation, testing, and servicing of renowned racing cars, making it a significant landmark in the history of the American automobile industry.
With its association with pioneer automobile manufacturers and famous drivers who set world speed records, such as William K. Vanderbilt Jr. and Barney Oldfield, The Ormond Garage, also referred to as the Birthplace of Speed, holds a prominent place in racing history. Sadly, it burned down in 1976, but its legacy lives on as it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in the same year.
