Semi-Attached Garages

Eventually, people recognized the convenience of having the garage near the house, especially during the cold Vermont winters. During the 1920s, the automobile was becoming an essential part of daily American life, and the move of the garage closer to the house reflects this importance. During the 1920s, many garages were constructed with sheltered connectors that had openings to access the back yard.
