Hey!  Where’s the Garage?!?

While not as common in Minnesota as, say, California and Florida, I do recall seeing Twin Cities homes with car ports.

It’s just that they usually supplement (rather than replace) a garage.

Much less common:  a car port underneath the home, that leads to the detached garage in back (photo above).

Best guess is that the 1938 St. Louis Park home originally had a one car garage, which was removed when the detached garage was added.
