The Carhouse

This is the last "original" building left on the family property. It is fondly referred to as "the carhouse," which I gather was the terminology which we now know as a "garage." It was built in 1926 to protect my grandfather's new Model T Ford from the elements. It looks so small, but in 1926 I guess the autos were pretty small compared to today's models. It is barely standing but Mother refuses to have it torn down because of the memories it brings. It looks like someone is storing rolls of wire in the interior (Mother's land is leased to a local rancher and he can do with it what he chooses -- within reason, of course). I thought the starkness of black and white did justice to the old carhouse.
