And from the They Sure Don’t Make Car Showrooms Like That Anymore file, comes this gem of a building with gorgeous bas relief panels over the doors. The McDaniel Motor Co. built their car showroom at 819 S. Brand Ave in Glendale. I don’t know much about them, but it looks like they sold Nash automobiles. The beautiful two-toned vehicle parked out front (on the right) is a 1926 Nash, possibly as an advertisement because behind it is the price tag: $999.99
** UPDATE ** – According to someone on Facebook, the building was demolished in the late 1990s.
That building is gone but that site is still a car sales lot. This image is from August 2022.
Truly classy. Unfortunately gone by the wayside these days.
Great design.
You would think that cities would want to save these beautiful buildings! So sad that they are just torn down.
