Presidio of San Francisco, Cavalry Stables, Cowles Street, between Lincoln Boulevard & McDowell Street, San Francisco, San Francisco County, CA

description

Summary

Significance: Within the Presidio, the cavalry stables form a distinct and rather isolated building complex with a unique character. Although they were constructed during the period when the Mission style had been introduced as the dominant style at the Presidio (ca. 1912-), architecturally, they relate more to the nationwide brick building traditions seen in the area of the Main Post than to the reinforced-concrete construction and regionally-inspired Spanish-derived influences seen at Fort Winfield Scott. Individually, Building 661 was the first of the stables to be constructed. Although its interior has undergone substantial alteration, the exterior form, materials, and massing remain, making it an important element of the stables group. Its interior still includes the only remaining horse stalls at the Presidio and other original features.
