The Laudholm campuss two garages, sitting side by side, both date to the early 20th century. The smaller one was built in 1907 for the Lord familys new Thomas Forty automobile. The 5-bay garage was added in the 1920s.

A century later, these buildings have gained fresh attention. Each has been rewired to exploit our newest photovoltaic panels; their outlets and LED lighting are now powered by the Sun. And their 14 deteriorating doors, each weighing about 150 pounds, are being methodically rebuiltsashes are refurbished and set into historically accurate reconstructions.

The determined crew of volunteers putting scores of hours into the project so far include Peter Anthony, Carolyn Broad, John Hake, Dave Harrison, Frank Heller, Peter McKenzie, and Howard Wineberg. Nice work, all!
