FORT APACHE HISTORIC PARK
Cavalry Stables
121
Circa 1906
 History: The original stables which stood in this approximate
location were built running north and south. After they burned (circa 1906)
four stables were built in a row, from north to south, each building running in
an east-west direction. Only one of the four stable continues to stand. The
other three burned, the most recent on September 26, 1988.
The remaining stable was extensively remodeled circa 1923 to
serve as a dairy barn for the use of the Theodore Roosevelt School. One
fascinating feature remaining in the building is that each stall is still
labeled with the name of the last soldier responsible for the stall and the
name of his horse.
