Openings dating to an 1893 city charter and beyond
Bartow was incorporated as a town in 1882 and chartered as a city in 1893, and its historic civic core has kept building and rebuilding around that charter date for well over a century, so garage structures range from converted turn-of-the-century carriage space to modern attached two-car openings.
