Notes
  • Significance: The significance of the Shaub Ellison Company Building is both architectural and historical. The building was initially constructed in 1931 by J.B. Garrard for the Shaub Ellison Company as the regions first "super-service station." The Company was built by prominent local businessmen, Charles A. Ellison and Roe E. Shaub. The facility was a response to the emerging automobile age of the early twentieth century. It combined gas pumps, a retail tire showroom, general automotive service and repair facilities, with tire repair and storage for wholesale distribution. The building incorporated skillful Art-Deco design, detailing its cast concrete frame to create a unique image for its industrial and retail use. An addition in 1959 removed or obscured significant portions of this detailing.
