The Garage was constructed in 1913 by Armistead Peter Jr. It was designed by his brother, Washington architect Walter G. Peter, and featured three automobile bays, second-floor housing for staff, a laundry, and a basement steam boiler to heat the Main House.

Armistead Peter 3rd expanded the building in 1967 with a larger automobile bay, storage space, artist's studio, and underground fallout shelter.

Can you spot the differences between the 1913 and 1967 sections?
