(such as Sears, Aladdin, etc.) you can find a plan for a "Gar-Low" - a garage/bungalow.
The plan is for a four-room bungalow to be built on the back of the lot. When
the family came up with the cash to build a bigger house on the front of the lot
the Gar-Low could be converted to a garage by removing the wall partitions.

Around town there's lots of quite small houses built at the back of the lot. I was told these were meant to be turned into garages when the owners got up the scratch to build a house. And many never did. Does anyone know if this is true, or just a story told to meet the apparent facts? Examples abound: across from the Nokomis Station post office on 34th Av., for one, and another is 2 houses south of 38th Street on the west side of 17th Ave. Surely there are more.
Karen Cooper, in Tangletown, thinking that mandating garages is a terrible idea to solve the problem of too many cars, and extra storage is what garden sheds are for.
