OUTBUILDINGS
. . .houses in the district might have had garages, with the same roof shapes and wall coverings, or with wall coverings that matched the primary building on the lot. It is acceptable to construct new outbuildings to the rear of lots on Fourth and Gill, with designs that respect the original designs.

Recommendations:
1. Buildings resembling servants' quarters or carriage houses, work buildings, or simple one story garages are appropriate to be constructed in the Fourth and Gill Historic District. Their size and construction should use materials that correspond to the original primary buildings on the lot.
