civilized ku # 1009 ~ freaking impressive

Horse farm ~ Rt 10 near Hamden, NY • click to embiggenI have no idea what this rather incredible edifice is other than to state that it is both massive and architecturally impressive. I came upon it during my recent errands travels - I missed a turn and was working my way back to the correct route - and it stopped me dead in my tracks.

After a phone calls to an area historic society in the adjoining township, the best I have come up with is that it is part of a private estate and they (the owners) might have horses there. The pictured building is only one of 2 massive structures - you can see the roof of the other structure behind and to the right. There is also a very impressive house as well.

The house, which was undergoing renovation, was not occupied. Apparently the owners have been renovating entire complex over the past 10 years.

I do have a call into the historical society which is located in the same township as the estate. If I find out what this place once was, I'll be sure to let you know.
