No, it's not the garage. In the old south, it would have been called a garconniere, and been a hideaway for the eldest son of the family. In the 20th century, things like this were sometimes called "mother-in-law houses". Whatever you want to call it, I love it. Take that covering off the porch and it would be perfect for me.

Do you use the expression "Granny Annex"?
Perhaps you also would like to remove the ladder from the front and fix the sagging roof before you adopt.
