149 East 38th Street George S. Bowdon Stable - GOR-200308-cE22

This two-story stable building was constructed in 1902 for William R. H. Martin, a businessman and real estate developer active in the Murray Hill section of the city. Architect Ralph S. Townsend designed this small building in a distinctive Dutch Revival style, with an elaborate stepped gable and oversized stone quoins and voussoirs.

The Carriage House, a not-for-profit foundation, located in Manhattan's Murray Hill neighborhood, was designed by noted architect Ralph S. Townsend as a private stable in 1902. It was then sold to George S. Bowdoin, a partner at J.P. Morgan, in 1907. In 1997, it was designated a New York City landmark "for its special character, history, and esthetics, along with its value as part of the development and cultural heritage of New York City."
