The History of the Garage: An Infographic



Car garages. We don’t really think about them, do we? Garages are one of the things we take for granted; they protect our cars from the elements, are great storage centers - and are everywhere. No, really: the U.S. alone has 82 million homes with a garage; that’s enough to store every car made in the world last year.

Don’t forget: in the beginning, drivers didn’t have actual, personal garages; they used converted carriage houses that once held horses. Nowadays, the garage is so common we don’t even think twice about it.
