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.
