Exterior view of the Egyptian revival structure, located at 4749 University Avenue in San Diego. Originally built to serve as a street car electrical substation, it was remodeled into the Egyptian Garage in 1925 by David H. Ryan, a paving contractor and painter. Paul and Francis A. Harvey operated the Egyptian Garage there from 1926 until 1932. Since 1957, "Big City Liquor" has occupied the space. The southern portion of the building (on right) was added in 1927 and has on its exterior a row of pilasters topped with Pharaoh heads, matching the ones on the main building. There are bas-reliefs of the Egyptian god Thoth, the ibis-headed moon god, below both visible roof lines.
