Carriage House – Both Workshop and Garage

Back in the day, people rode in carriages instead of automobiles and parked them in carriage houses. The original carriage house on the novel’s fictional Andersen Light: A Mystic Creek Novel estate was quite large. Luther Andersen eventually converted it into both a garage and a workshop.

The Carriage House at Andersen Light: A Mystic Creek Novel

The characters Luther Andersen and his coworker, Carl Nelson, use the carriage house workshop for estate maintenance as well as for their engineering projects. Luther and Carl are keen on environmental solutions and the workshop doubles as their research lab. Solar and wind projects can be seen all around Andersen Light: A Mystic Creek Novel. Hybrid carts used to get around the estate are one example of solar technology. Luther’s 1941 Packard station wagon, “Woody”, parked in the garage portion of the carriage house, is another.

Georgie, Josefina or both, park their bicycles in the carriage house when they arrive at Andersen Light: A Mystic Creek Novel after classes at the Mystic Creek High School.

The Green Carriage House

You’ll find another carriage house workshop mentioned in the novel, the one at Shawn Green’s house. Shawn’s dad and brother, Derrick and Earl, developed the first portion of their “black box” design for the government in this workshop.
