Coach Barn

-A A +A
1902, Robert H. Robertson

The Coach Barn was built one-half mile from the house as an asymmetrical brick compound around a central court. The picturesque composition of hipped and gabled roofs with half-timbered gables and cupolas has an arched entranceway with an ornate cast-iron gate on axis with a clock tower. Originally it included thirty-two closed and sixteen open stalls, two floors of carriage and sleigh storage (served by an elevator), haylofts, granaries, and sleeping quarters for a staff of thirteen. Its English manor house character made it an appropriate base for the Webbs' Four-in-Hands and the Shelburne Hunt.
