Combining the Garage with the Home 



THE automobile enthusiast thinks of his car 

 as something human. It is only natural, 

 then, that he should plan its "sleeping quarters" 

 with almost as much care as he would his per- 

 sonal residence. In fact the garage should be 

 treated as a part of the homeplace, if it is located 

 on the same plot. It should be constructed of 

 the same material and along the same lines as 

 the house, and should be painted the some color. 

 In the accompanying photographs picturesque ef- 

 fects have been studied. On the left is a clock- 

 tower garage erected on an elaborate suburban 

 estate.^ Other designs show the garage incorpo- 

 rated in terraces and a hillside, leading to the 

 dwelling. The rounded sheet-metal type is be- 

 coming popular, and the all-glass model in the 

 lower left corner of the following page provides 

 abundance of light. Flowers and vines relieve the 

 coldness of concrete or extremely plain structures.
