I believe that garages can be as architecturally significant as the homes they were built for. From these examples of garages, a viewer can get a strong sense of the architectural style, building materials and overall intention.

Tile Roof Garage

Garages built on corner lots facing side streets were often more ornate the middle of the block garages. This garage matches the house it was constructed for with brackets, brick detail and a tile roof.

Flat Roofed Garage

Another corner garage facing a rear alley blends into the brick rear fence. Notice the rafter ends in the cornice.

Cat Slope Roof

Designed for an English Revival style home, this garage mimics the homes stucco and primitive features with large bracket hinges on the swing style garage door. Notice the small window with a balcony.

Two Story Garage

With prominent recessed dormers, this garage is easily recognizable as English Revival with the lead glass windows, knee braces and stone trim accents.
