Donald M. and Jane Stromquist Residence (1958) (S.429)
Exterior Photographs of the Garage By Douglas M. Steiner, September 2009
The Lamp and Pedestal, Garage and the extension of the retaining wall were added by Donald Stromquist when he moved back into the home. The additions followed the same design concepts found in the home. The rows of concrete block in the retaining wall are slightly inset, slanting the wall away from the home. The Garage is inset into the hillside, and retains the same details as the rest of the home. The windows match the celestory windows in the home and shed. The celestory windows allow natural light within the Garage and include mitered glass corners. The fascia matches the home. The Garage doors also match, but are not slanted.
