"The garage appears to have been designed by Schulze & Brown in 1905 for automobiles used to travel between the railroad in Redwood City and the Folger property in Woodside. Automobiles were probably pushed in and out of the garage while the engine was off. No early photographs or other records exist to document its design and original purpose; the possibility exists that it was used for carriages rather than automobiles. There was a gas pump in front of the building in the early 1950s (Folger 2003). Since that time, a service pit was removed and filled with concrete to match the rest of the floor (Lang 2003)."
