1940 First floor garage renovation

These blueprints show 2 versions of a planned renovation opening up a two-truck garage bay with loading platform in the Johnson Avenue facade, and building a whole new covered truck garage in the space between Peele Co. (block 3000) and Englander (Block 2994) over Ingraham Street, which must have been more of a dead end into the freight yards. My guess is that trucks became critical to their operations as the train service in the area was diminishing.
