One of the most notable transportation-related resources along the avenue is the Black and White Automotive Service (1949) at 2424 East Colfax Avenue. The two-story Art Moderne style building is composed of tile block and has curved corners, large display windows, a curving metal canopy, and metal coping. Historic automobile dealerships generally featured a small, one-story office set well back from the thoroughfare, with the large open area in front used for the display of vehicles. Some auto dealership buildings of the later twentieth century tended to be much larger in scale, with two stories, some interior showrooms, and attached service areas." (from NRHD Form, Section F )
