The Carriage House

A carriage house is a small building historically used to store carriages and horses, typically located on the property of a main residence. Often situated in the backyard or alongside the main house, these structures may also serve as garages or guesthouses today, especially in historic districts. They reflect the transportation needs of past eras and can be architecturally distinctive, adding charm and character to a property. Modern conversions often turn them into living spaces, studios, or rentable accommodations, blending historic charm with contemporary utility.
