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 February 1, 2005 -2- Item No. 20 sliding automotive doors,one located off of the alley on the west elevation, and the other on the east elevation, facing the house.
