HOUSE & GARDEN 
The high roof of the 
garage above allows for 
a half storg attic where 
winter tops can be 
stored in summer and 
e X t r a supplies kept. 
With vines trained up 
the tcalls or a border 
planting at the founda¬ 
tion it becomes a ivorth 
while addition to the 
garden 
Below is one tgpe of 
garage in the house. It 
is cut into a bank and 
forms the foundation 
for the porch. Windoivs 
on the side provide suf¬ 
ficient light. Being a 
part of the house it re¬ 
quires no extra heating 
plant and the car is 
conveniently at hand. 
The garage as one tinit 
in a series of attached 
buildings can also serve 
the purpose of holding 
the heating plant, the 
chauffeur being stokes- 
man in winter. The 
peculiar advantage in 
the garage above is the 
wide door. Many gar¬ 
ages have doors too 
narrow 
While very like in 
structure to the garage 
in the house opposite, 
the type below shoivs 
the feasibility of mak¬ 
ing such a garage an 
unostentatious part of 
the hozise. In such an 
arrangement one should 
never suspect the gar¬ 
age of being a garage 
A substantial, pretentious garage deserves good 
architectural treatment besides conforming to 
the technical requisites of the chauffeur and 
machinist. In the one above, the combination 
of field stone and ivhite wood trim gives the 
building a pleasant character. The large loin- 
dows and glassed doors provide the necessary 
light for working about the car 
GARAGES IN THE 
HOUSE AND OUT 
In considering any modern property, the garage is an 
indispensable element. It can be in the house, attached 
to it or alone. But as an element in the property group¬ 
ing U should bear the architectural character of the other 
buildings. If the suggestion for your garage is not found
