Check out this old photo of the bus turnaround in Adams Morgan. It looks as it does today, minus the Toddle House in the background which is now Mama Ayesha’s.

A Look Back at the Bus Turnaround in Adams Morgan – Then and Now
Actually, I think the Toddle House was that tiny white building that became a WMATA-owned break room (or something else?). Check this out: http://dinerhunter.com/toddle-house-locations.
So THAT is what that funny looking little building was! I’ve always wondered, since it sure didn’t look like a purpose-built WMATA facility. Here’s how it looks in Google Street View: https://goo.gl/maps/1NF3grwTBHE2 (definitely not Mama Ayesha’s)
Mama Ayesha’s is the building behind Toddle House.
Here’s the bus turnaround in a modern day shot.
