Fort Sheridan, Quartermaster Stable, Lyster Road, Lake Forest, Lake County, IL
Summary
Significance: The building was designed by Holabird and Roche as Quartermaster Stables but was utilized for many years as a Veterinary Hospital. It has a distinctive design which is different from the other stables on the post and makes a notable addition to the comprehensiveness of the surviving building stock at Fort Sheridan. The attractive appearance and decorative detail is illustrative of the importance of the horse in the pre-World War I army.
