@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] Honestly, all this makes me desperately curious to know the story behind Broadmoor remaining unincorporated despite being an enclave within Daly City.

@[email protected] IDK but that motif seems to have used widely. The facade of the Capital Garage in downtown DC—allegedly the largest parking garage in the world at the time it was built—had something even more elaborate, albeit not as three-dimensional.

@[email protected] A much milder version of Daft Automotive architecture is in Grinnell, Iowa’s downtown historic district. I believe this was purpose built as a multi-bay garage but am too lazy rn to pull up the nomination form’s inventory.
