Lyons Garage was a Tudor Revival commercial building in Grand Forks, North Dakota, constructed in 1929 as an expansion of the adjacent Lyons Auto Supply company's 1912 building. The single-story structure featured distinctive polychrome brickwork in yellow and red, making it one of two "outstanding" Tudor Revival buildings in Downtown Grand Forks—the other being the Northern Pacific Depot and Freight House. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 following a 1981 historic resources survey, the garage became known for reports of paranormal activity, including sightings of a small figure in overalls carrying an old oil can. The building was demolished in February 2022 and delisted from the National Register in 2023.
