NEW AUTO STRUCTURE
LOOKS LIKE A BANK

Atlanta Ga, August 4.-The
growth OF the automobile business in
the southeast has developed a special
type of architecture adapted to its
needs, typical of which is building
just completed in Atlanta on North
Avenue near Peachtree street.
The building is just one-story but
occupies an area of 100 21O feet. 1t
has a light gray exterior of brick,
limestone trimmings and plate glass
windows. Designed by A. Ten Eyck
Brown, we'll known architect, and
built by Bulge and Company at a
cost of $4,000, it meets the modern
requirements of the automobile busi-
ness admirably. There are two show
rooms on the ground floor with a
stock room attached. In the rear is a
shop and battery room, the balance
of the space being used for the stor-
age of gasoline as we'll as electric
cars.
This building has all the appear
ance OF bank structure, although
It is out of the business district in
what. only a few years ago, was an
exclusive residential section.
