In 2000, this building was converted into Chevy Place: a 77-unit apartment complex with ground-level retail space. The main tenant is SPoT Coffee which has divided the showroom into four sections. There are four other SPoT stores in Western New York. [map]

The showroom featured a spiral-shaped, plaster-covered ramp which could only fit about five cars. It resembled the Guggenheim Museum, on a much smaller scale, which Wright designed later in 1959. The only other building that Wright designed in New York City was a house in Staten Island.

The showroom's mirrored ceiling was part of Wright's original plan but this was not the same one. It was replaced in a 1981 restoration with this flashier one. Wright also planned to have mirrors on the floor but this proved to be too impractical. The small showroom also featured a terrazzo floor and a still-functioning turntable which slowly spun the cars. Wright also originally designed hassocks and coffee tables for the space. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, and 3.

Hyperbolic parabola roofs were used frequently for mid-century modern banks, churches, and other buildings including the Paul Miller dealership in Lexington, KY.
