On the Q, the buildings where the section gangs kept
their tools and motor cars were known as tool houses
or more commomonly as "car hoses". A "section house"
was the company house, supplied to the section foreman
or in some cases, to section laborers. Do you mean a
car house or a section house? But the answer is yes,
there are standard plans for car/tool houses and there
are several standard plans and several "non-standard"
plans for section houses.
