In the older part of my town there are things standing that were made long ago. This seasoned garage remains proud and beautiful.

Beautiful it is. At first glance it doesn’t look like it’s been made to last but quite obviously it has. I love the ramp and the small shuttered window on the side.

How old do you figure that is? 1930’s?

Maybe… but I’m not a very good judge of the age of wooden structures like that

Not much more to add……found it last summer in a town just 20 miles from me and it was on someones property, but close enough to the road for me to shoot it.
Thanks Soma.

I like the small window on the side. This garage looks like some sort of hideout as well.

I love sheds… they have a particular smell, especially on a warm day or at night.

It reminds me of the old garage and shed in our backyard in Northern Alberta. Both were old then and were still standing when we visited about five years ago. They were so old the original use of the shed was as an ice house for storage. When we moved there, in 1958, there were still remnants of sawdust on the floor. Thank you for the memories.

A little weathered looking but still looks like it could be used today.

Agreed. It must have have been made well but sure could use some stain or waterproofing, eh.

Maybe a little 🙂
