Description and history

It was built in 1927-28 as James H. Kindel's auto dealership. Pasadena architects Bennett and Haskell designed it in the Italian Renaissance Revival style.

The main facade of the building features five arches supported by Corinthian columns and extensive plate glass windows displaying the showroom's interior, and the entrance includes cast iron piers and a transom with an iron grille. The McDaneld Motor Company, the Bush-Morgan Motor Company, and the Howard Motor Company all used the building as a dealership, and it was later used as a body shop.[2]

The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 18, 1996.[1]

gollark: Of course, I could just *not* build in a scripting language and recompile it to add plugin things, which would really be fine.
gollark: I was looking at just using Lua.
gollark: This is a plugin in PHP, but obviously it would be strictly more powerful if you could edit and create these things in minoteaur itself and not* cause horrible issues.
gollark: This generates a nice big table of links to pages corresponding to each day of the year.
gollark: Anyway, a good example of this is stuff like the "yearbox" plugin I use for dokuwiki.
