2 excellent opart plywoods, at segmental arch windows from the 1920s.

In downtown Danville, Virginia, on May 31st, 2022, at the Ace Paint & Body Shop on the west side of South Floyd Street, north of Patton Street. The building is a "contributing property" in the Downtown Danville Historic District (93000830 on the National Register of Historic Places).

 

The building is from sometime between ~1921 and ~1927, per my review of Danville city directories at AncestryLibrary.com: It is listed in the 1927 directory as "Motor Service Co (The)."
