860 ILLUSTRATED WORLD
Architectural Artistry
In the above picture the indoor
garage is made the foundation of
an artistic pergola. The garage
is on the south side of the house,
heavy oak woods lying directly
across the street, giving a magnificent
vista and cooling air
in the summer time. The
roof of the garage is tiled, while
there are deep "window seats"
in the south end of the pergola.
Entrance to the bower is through
a heavy, plate-glass door leading
from the living room of the
house. Electric light bulbs, of
frosted glass, are placed at each
corner of the pergola.
On a 45 Degree Angle Lot
A garage was thought impossible
here, because the lot sloped upward
forty feet from the alley to
the street. The ingenious owner
overcame this difficulty by excavating,
and not only did he secure
a serviceable garage thereby, but
he planted sod and filled in dirt
on the roof. Now his children
have a back yard to play in which
they lacked before.
