Briefly summarized, the chief desiderata to be sought for in a garage are the following: First, absolute protection from fire; second, an efficient meeting of the needs of the owners; and third, a convenient arrangement of the various utilities. As regards the first of these essential features, it is always possible to design a structure which shall be absolutely proof against danger from without, and the fireproof materials which are available for this purpose are so well known as to not require mention here. Many wooden garages for private use are of course being built, but the insurance companies distinctly disapprove of them, and certainly the danger of fire is much increased when cars are stored in frame buildings. Then, too, there is the danger to adjoining property.
