The McGovern’s Garage building, 124 Sommerville Street South, was built in 1895 as a livery.
Over the years, it served many different businesses. In 1958, it was purchased by Pat McGovern, who started McGovern’s Garage, which was eventually run by son, Jack, until 2017. Small Engine Service and Supply then took over the building.
November 7, 2025, the Shakopee Economic Development Authority purchased the building, intending to demolish the building and redevelop the property.
December 16, 2025, the building was demolished.
On September 12, 2017, Jack allowed us to photo document the building. Those photos are in the album below.
