Cut along line A-A, this architectural section shows the interior of a planned car wash and automobile service station for Shannon & Luchs Inc. at Connecticut Avenue and Ordway Street in Northwest Washington. Arthur B. Heaton is credited as the architect, and a notation on the sheet refers to a west elevation. Auto laundries and service stations like this one spread along busy commercial avenues as car ownership grew in the 1920s and 1930s, when drivers could wash, lubricate and repair their cars in a single stop. The cutaway reveals how the washing and service areas were arranged within the building.
