The Royal Tire Service Inc. Building, at 3229 Washington Ave. in St. Louis, Missouri, was built in 1929. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.[1]

It has also been known as U.S. Tire Service, as Beverly Tire Company, and as Mo Cummins Diesel Sales Corp.[1]

It was built for original use as a tire shop and gas station. It "is a spacious one story, L-shaped brick service garage with a barrel-vaulted roof above a central section that features an arched parapet. Five pass-through garage bays (with original overhead doors on the north (rear) elevation) are situated within the long (northern) leg of the L. A small office is located on the shorter east leg of the L, featuring a truncated southwest comer. Gasoline pumps have been removed, but the building itself and the way it frames its corner lot clearly illustrate the property's use as an automobile-related resource. Additionally, an abundance of historic material remains."[2]
