this may be the most impressive looking garage I've ever come across, Plaza Service Station, 121 E. Maryland Street


the nationwide City Beautiful Movement promoted monumental-looking filling station designs. One local example is Vonnegut, Mueller, & Bohn’s little-remembered architectural design for the Plaza Service Station, formerly located at 121 E. Maryland Street. The building was Indianapolis’s most up-to-date station.

    Those large garages would be very expensive to heat ib the winter.

      I doubt anyone heated them, or aircraft hangers, or anything where us blue collar guys work for a living in winter
