1917 - Andrew Pansini saw a need for "off-street parking" in downtown Los Angeles and opened Los Angeles' first parking lot, the fee was 5¢ a day. He later founded the Savoy Corporation and opened Savoy Auto Park. In 1942 he opened Savoy's Union Square Garage in San Francisco, the world's first, underground parking garage (shown above). Today he owns and manages commercial real estate in Northern California. (http://www.savoycorp.com/assets/ images/4sm.jpg)
