Just how deluxe Mr. Robie's three-car garage was in its day
came to light when the non-original floor was removed to install new
heating and water pipes. Sunk into the ground, below floor level, was
a small cavity with thick concrete walls - the original mechanic's
pit that Robie had requested Wright to include in his design for the
garage. The placement of the new pipes was altered to allow the pit
to remain intact.  |
