The property contains two historic garages. The first was built circa 1920. It is a front gable,wood frame structure,with narrow lapped wood siding. Craftsman details on this building include,in part, exposed rafter tails, square cut shingles in the gable ends, and a four-beside-four-light horizontal sliding window.
