A little more complicated is the
problem as to where the garage
"eshould be located. 'Usually it is to be
found in the rear of the house. Some
houses that are built on e. high plot
of ground with the land .sloping sharp-
ly toward the street represent a situa-
tion where locating the garage in the
rear of the home is out of the ques-
tion. In such an event it can be located
in front, but the grading can be done
so that the garage is mostly under-
ground and doesnot mar the beauty
of the lancrecaping. Thus located
right on the street it has its advan-
tages, but this is not ordinarily the
most detirable place to put a garage.
If possible, the garage should be
about on a level with the house.
