NYFE Summary

A stockbroker commissioned the stable near his home to house private horses and carriages. It survives as a reminder of the service buildings that supported wealthy households before motorcars.

A steep mansard roof rises over the narrow front. Dormer windows and decorative iron cresting give a working stable details associated with the larger houses it served.
