BACKGROUND C/ 0 P�y
Based upon an evaluation of the construction materials and methods,the Dukes/Dunlap Garage was
built between c.1920 and c.1930,well within the property's period of significance. The garage was
likely constructed for the second owners of the property,the Samuel Dunlap family,who lived here
for approximately twenty-five years,between 1908 and c.1933. The wood-frame,detached,single-
car garage features narrow horizontal drop siding, painted white. The front gabled roof is of grey
asphalt shingles. The garage, designed to allow a car to pass completely through, contains two

elevation, facing the house. These two doors are mounted on original hardware. On the southeast
elevation,a shed roof addition was created by a partial extension of the roof,forming an"ell." This
addition, enclosed with the same ho 'zcm 1 d ' in sv in,• es as a storage area. At a
later time,the open portion of the" "was a losed i a 11 zontal wooden planks below

returning the garage to its earlier appearance.
