Carport at Carriage House

Item

Description

Dr. George Way added this three bay carport to the original carriage house. He used rock debris from the remnants of the original house to match the rock on the face of the carriage house, but more importantly to reduce the amount of cement needed to form the floor, the piers, and the tall retaining wall at the far end of the carport.

The dark structure barely visible at the far end of the carriage house is an addition that provided office space and a back porch to the residence. Just beyond the wood stockade fence at the left of the photo is a pool and stairway down to the back of the carport and house.

The photo below shows part of the back wall of the carport.
