A site plan and key plan for a combined car wash and automobile service station at Connecticut Avenue and Ordway Street in Northwest Washington, D.C., drawn by architect Arthur B. Heaton for the automobile firm Shannon & Luchs. The record is undated, but the drawing reflects a period when driving was spreading through the city and dealers and garages needed dedicated space for washing, servicing and storing cars. Such plans show how a corner lot was arranged for traffic, with the building footprint, driveways and work areas laid out for customers, offering a clear view of how early car-related businesses shaped neighborhood streets.
