Speaking of garages, what is the "standard" size garage? Is there such a thing as "standard" sized garage? Im talking about garages that are attached to the house
On tract homes it all depends on the builder and his architect. Houses built in the 1940's typically had a one car garage, in the mid 1950's they went to 2 car garages, then in the 1970's and 1980's, at least out here in Cali they started building many of the houses with 3 car garages or even a third bay that was 12-14 feet tall and extra long for rv parking. We had a house on the San Francisco Peninsula when I was growing up that was two story with the garage under the house. The main living space was on the top floor and the lower floor consisted of a large family room, a bedroom and bathroom and garage. The garage was wide enough for 4 cars with a 2 car door. If I had that house now, it would have some partitions installed to house a nice railroad room, and an adjoining but sealed off workshop for modeling or wood work.
