Garage exterior ideas?

[noxided]

Im about to start building a 30x35 garage.

Its going to be a wooden pole barn with a flat roof sloping back.

I want it to look retro, similar to an old gas station.

How should I do the exterior walls?

Staining the wood siding could be nice.

stain looks too plain.

I want something that stands out and says old garage.

I was thinking stucco walls to look like the old stations.

It depends on where you are.
“Old” looks different in different parts of the country.

Post a pic of what you have in mind. I remember a lot of the them were concrete block.

You could put and overhang out front. Maybe do a wainscoting with some manmade stone out front.

I used to have a smll roof over the three window section. I ripped it off and put up one roof across the entire front.

Im looking for somehting more of this style, but not falling apart.

Anyone here built something like this?

How hard is it to put just a brick a fascia on just the front and put an architectual roof on? Would the building be structurely sound? Would it be cheaper than building a stick structure?
