Historic Shed in the News

We’ve been thrilled to get some press recently in some great magazines and blogs in the past couple of months. Here’s some highlights:

A Historic Shed Storage Building for a Side Yard

On May 2, 2012 · Leave a Comment

Not all sheds have to be freestanding in the backyard. Side yards can provide much needed storage areas and go from barely used to extremely useful with the proper shed set next to the side of a house. Sheds can range in size from large to small, depending on your storage needs and allowable space.

A Custom Garage for a Historic Bungalow

On February 11, 2012 · 4 Comments
