Informative Tidbits

The Carriage House at Rosemount

Carriage House

Carriage houses at the turn of the century were used in much the same way garages are used today. Rosemount's carriage house consisted of a tool room, wash room, stables, harness room, carriage room, hay loft and attendant's apartment.

The architect, Henry Hudson Holly, designed chutes in the stable ceilings for animal feed to move from the loft floor.

Holly also designed the harness room (where the modern bathrooms are now located) to be extra large allowing for a "smoking room for gentlemen in the morning and as a pleasant resort for male servants in the evening."

Carriage House

All of the floors were originally pine planks, except the wash room, which was cement. The interior walls are brick with tongue-and-groove, beaded siding. The outside of the building is faced with rhyolite stone similar, but on a smaller scale, to that of the main house. The greenhouse was located to the west of the carriage house.
