"The main stable is the dominant feature of the Folger Estate Stable Historic District by virtue of its size and appearance. It is a large two-story wood structure with a complex hip roof, a lively skyline of dormers, ventilating towers, and chimneys, and a stylistic character derived from French Baroque architecture blended with local materials and methods of building. Like many stables, the Folger stable is a two-story structure with a hay loft above everything else. It is irregular in plan but its ground floor can be generally characterized as having three zones: at the center is an area that was built to accommodate carriages, tack, office, lounge, and living quarters. At the south end is a smaller wing where originally all the horse stalls were built. The central area and the south wing are linked and unified by a wide central corridor. At the north end, off center and at the rear, is a narrow wing built as a workshop area." (
