My new S corp client built a separate structure on his home property for his electrical business, (garage for employee vehicles, storage, offices, etc.) Can I depreciate this structure on the 1120S since it's a separate structure, even though it's built on his home property?

Yes, assuming the Corporation paid for it.

39 years.

just wait until he sells, though. Not a pretty picture. Tell him to die instead. He will fare much better.
