BUILT IN 1892 IN THE ROMANESQUE REVIVAL STYLE, THE
CLAREMONT RIDING ACADEMY IS THE OLDEST OPERATING STABLE
IN NEW YORE CITY. THE CLAREMONT WAS ORIGINALLY CONSTRUCTED
AS A LIVERY STABLE, AND SEVERAL CARRIAGES AND SLEIGHS REMAIN
ON THE UPPER FLOORS WHERE THEY WERE KEPT AND BROUGHT DOWN
BY ELEVATOR. THE ORIGINAL STALLS ON THE SECOND AND EASEMENT
STORIES ARE STILL INTACT, ALONG WITH THE RAMP FOR THE
MOVEMENT OF HORSES AND THE MAIN FLOOR RIDING ARENA. THE
CLAREMONT WAS CONVERTED TO A RIDING STABLE IN 1928.
