This very garage was illustrated in the 1919 Louden General Catalogue #49 to show the "Louden Garage Door Hanger."
The current garage door is not the original. The original garage door was used to create a bump-out in the rear of the garage. But the Voisey-influenced roof (designed to look like a thatched roof), the stucco-clad sides and the paired windows remain as they were. | Many garages in Fairfield still have working Louden garage door hangers. (See hanger).
Look here to see another garage displayed in the 1919 catalogue. A garage here in Fairfield is similar, located on the west side of "D" Street, just north of East Burlington Ave.
Also, note that the garage at 402 S. 2nd Street has a Louden ventilator on top. Catalogue page here. |
