Frank Lloyd Wright and I quote "The term was first coined by renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright, when he invented the carport for the first of his "Usonian" homes; The house of Herbert Jacobs, built in Madison, Wisconsin, in 1936. ( http://www.usonia1.com )

In describing the carport, he said to Mr. Jacobs, "A car is not a horse, and it doesn't need a barn." He then added, "Cars are built well enough now so that they do not require elaborate shelter." Looking back at life in 1936, it is easy to imagine automobiles prior to this time were not completely water tight; the era of robotic-assembly, advanced materials, perfect closure lines, and rampant car theft were still 50 years in the future."
