Stable and Carriage House at Saint-Gaudens National Historical Park

The stable and carriage house at Saint-Gaudens National Historical Park was on the property when Charles Beaman purchased it in 1884. It is thought to have been built sometime between 1875 and 1880, then expanded around 1900 by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. He began living in Cornish as a summer resident in 1885 and purchased the property from Beaman in 1891.

Today the building houses a collection of antique carriages. These did not belong to Saint-Gaudens, but they are from the late 1800s.
