House & Garden 
The scheme for this garage was to house two cars and agord living accom^ 
modations for the chauffeur. These are treated as separate units, a fire wall 
separating the living quarters from the garage proper. The rooms, which 
are on the first floor include a bedroom, bath and large closet. A window in 
bath and bedroom provides light and ventilation and the quarters, although 
compact, are sufficient for comfort. In the garage proper there is space for 
two cars. It is heated by a system placed in the cellar and the cellar is 
reached by an outside stairs. Provision has been made for such necessary 
equipment as patented trap for waste oil and gas, with a concrete floor 
pitched to drain to the trap. Electric lights and attachments are planned, a 
gasolene storage in the cellar and a work bench at the rear. Beneath the 
eaves is a storage room. The construction calls for stucco over hollow tile 
and a slate roof. The view to the left shows the chauffeur’s rooms 
TWO SMALL GARAGES DESIGNED 
for HOUSE & GARDEN 
By FRANK J. FORSTER, Architect 
In planning the one-car garage below the architect removes it from the 
ordinary class by making it an architectural feature that will grace a small 
property. It is inexpensive, built of clapboard siding painted white. The 
doors are of batten construction and the roof is shingle stained silver gray. 
The dip of the ridge gives individuality to the roof. A trellis to one side adds 
interest and is a small item of expense. On the other side, built in as part 
of the structure is a small closet for grease, etc. There is a cement floor inside 
and a work bench at the rear. A door from the garage leads to the space 
behind the trellis where gasolene and other accessories as need not be 
covered can be stored. The ceiling of the garage can be either left unfinished 
or boarded over, in which case storage room is provided for extra accessories. 
Two windows, one on each side, afford sufficient light for working around 
the car during the daytime
