Lyons Garage was a building in Grand Forks, North Dakota that was built in 1929 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. [2] The rectangular building was built as an expansion of an adjacent Lyons Auto Supply company building that had been built in 1912. [3] The 1912 building was not included in the National Register listing. [2] [3]

The Lyons Garage was one of two "outstanding" buildings, both one story and both "done in polychrome brick of yellow and red", that "represent the Tudor Revival", [1] within the Downtown Grand Forks area whose historic resources were surveyed in 1981; the Northern Pacific Depot and Freight House is the other.
