I'd bet the little midge add-on of the front of the garage was built to fit a 1950's-1970's vehicle like a long Lincoln or Cadillac with fins.<br /><br />I have to agree about the garage vs the newbie riverrock lick n stick (that just makes me giggle) house. Seems almost like it is the neighbor garage, the drive just *happens* to be rightnext to the neighbor house except for that terra-cotta looking wall to the right.<br /><br />What really makes me giggle is the TV dish on the garage. Incongruous is an understatement.<br /><br />Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12388261083998643091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-27799381772252221752013-03-15T13:18:09.378-07:002013-03-15T13:18:09.378-07:00Yes, it goes with the incongruous house.
