The Willys Overland Block is a historic commercial and industrial block at 151-157 Chestnut and 10-20 Winter Streets in downtown Springfield, Massachusetts. It was built in 1916 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 24, 1983.[1] Here Willys-Overland automobiles were sold before and after the company became Jeep in the 1960s.[2] Located in the three blocks surrounding the Apremont Triangle Historic District and the famed Hotel Kimball, Willys Overland was among numerous early and mid-twentieth century automobile sellers in the neighborhood. Others included Rolls Royce and Pontiac.
The building is notable for its early commercial architecture. As of 2011, the Willys Overland Block is home to three separate churches, a parking garage, and an Hispanic radio station.
In 2015, the Springfield City Council established a historic district around the block.[3]
