Building is an integral component of Fort Huachuca's cavalry stable complex and the most intact example of this very rare group of buildings. The seven cavalry stables at Fort Huachuca were completed in utiliz- ing a standardized Quartermaster Corps plan. The structures are eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places due to their associa- tion with the Cavalry and the Punitive Expedition into Mexico in (Criterion A) and because they represent the only known examples of stables constructed using the Quartermaster Corps plan no. 291 (Crite- rion C).

Physical History 1. Date of erection: According to U.S. Army Quartermaster Corps Form No. 173a the initial property record card, this building and the other six cavalry stables were com- pleted 5 January (Figure A.2; HABS No. AZ-210-A-17). 2. Architect: The Office of the Constructing Quartermaster Corps (O.C.Q.M.C.), provider of standardized plan no. as indicated on Form No. 173a. In this corps was one of five divisions of the Office of the Quartermaster General in Washington, (Chattey 3. Original owner, occupants, uses: The owner has been the U.S. Army. The known original occupant/user was the Cavalry and its mounts. Very little information has been found about subsequent tenants although the building's uses can be determined.

The build- ing still had horses in (Parkhurst and Thiel It continued to be classified as a sta- ble in (U.S.A.C.E. A change of use occurred between and when the building become a storage facility (Post Engineer Office It remained classified as a storage building until when it changed to multi-use in prepa- ration for its partial service as a veterinary care facility (U.S. Army Form A veterinary clinic has been near the premises since at least (U.S.A.C.E. The present clinic, which replaced an earlier one, was built in and has an equine veterinarian. Building is currently vacant. It will be rehabilitated and used to stable mounts of the B Troop Memorial, a cavalry re-enactor group (Parkhurst and Thiel 4. Builder, contractor and suppliers: Built by the U.S. Army.

Information about the con- tractor or suppliers has not been located. The photograph on Form No. 173a shows African-American laborers and African-American soldiers in uniform working on this building (Figure A.2). It was Quartermaster Corps policy for Army buildings to be erected and re- paired by the troops (Chattey 5. Original plans and construction: Office of the Constructing Quartermaster Corps, standardized plan no. This plan could not be found at the National Archives; thus, it is not known whether its application on this post followed the standard or was a local modifica- tion to accommodate topographic and climatic conditions at Fort Huachuca (Chattey 6.

Alterations and additions: All cavalry stables in the complex, including Building have been modified to a greater or lesser extent. Building has the greatest integrity of all the buildings because much of its exterior and interior historic fabric remains. See Part 11.A.1 for a discussion of the historic, prototypical building. Exterior alterations include door and door opening modifications. None of the exterior doors are original, and the vintage of the present ones is unknown. The original north door open- ing was enlarged for a pair of sliding doors. A new doorway was cut on the south wall for sliding doors. A concrete slab was added on the dirt floor inside to connect the side doors. FORT HUACHUCA, CAVALRY STABLE HABS No.

AZ-210-A (Page 4) Most original windows are intact except at the west end of the building, where sash was re- moved and replaced with wire mesh grills during a remodeling. As built in the stable had a forage and grain room in the northeast corner and a sad- dle room in the southeast corner (U.S.A.Q.M.C. In as diagramed on Form No. each room was called a "saddle shop" by that date. The north one was 28 ft by 9 ft (interior dimensions) and the south, 38 ft by 9 ft (Figure A-S.1 ). At some later date, an enclosed storage addition was built on the west wall of the south room. Constructed from a stall bay, it retained the original window and included stall rails in its west wall. Another en- closed storage addition, built from the adjacent stall, was added to the west wall of the north room.

It, too, incorporated the original window and stall rails. (The former forage and grain room was later partitioned into two office rooms.) At some point, all other stall rails and mangers were removed from the building. In a utility room with gypsum wallboard cladding and a concrete floor was built in the northwest corner of the stable (U.S. Army Form In related to the adjacent veterinary complex, a horse care facility was built in the west 4-inch end of the building. Divided from the rest of the building by a floor-to- ceiling, plywood-clad partition, the plans called for installing seven modernized, pipe-rail en- closed stalls. The existing posts were retained but wrapped in galvanized sheet metal up to 8 ft.

Former sliding windows were either fixed or modified to openings without sash over which framed mesh grills were installed. A sloped, 4-inch concrete slab was added for this facility. The existing utility room in the northwest corner was converted to veterinary use. A water supply line was installed to provide faucets for each stall. The existing electrical ser- vice was upgraded, and a fire alarm system and fluorescent lights were installed (Facilities Engineering Directorate ). Currently, as the building is now vacant, elements of this former horse care facility have been dismantled, including the pipe railing. Likewise, plywood has been removed from the former partition. B.

Historical Context The United States Army completed the construction of seven cavalry stables at Fort Hua- chuca, Arizona, in January The stables housed horses and mules used by members of the Cavalry popularly known as the Buffalo Soldiers. The mid-191 Os saw a military buildup along the United States-Mexican border, as internal Mexican political problems es- calated. As intense fighting took place in northern Sonora, Fort Huachuca personnel pa- trolled the border, protected local residents and sought to prevent smuggling activities. Members of the Cavalry participated in the Punitive Expedition, the last ma- jor use of cavalry forces by the United States Army. The seven stables were likely one of the last cavalry stables complexes built in the United States.

The Punitive Expedition saw the first use of motorized vehicles by the military, and afterward the Army turned away from horse-mounted soldiers. The Cavalry left Fort Huachuca in however, the stables remained in use until at least They were later used for other purposes including storage and office space (Parkhurst and Thiel FORT HUACHUCA, CAVALRY STABLE HASS No. AZ-210-A (Page 5) To reinforce the formality that was traditional at historic, American military forts, stables tended to be repetitious units arranged in an orderly pattern not far from the barracks of the troops. Such repetition could be assured by the use of a standardized plan. Fort Huachuca's seven cavalry stables were located in the expanded Quartermaster area.

Aligned in a row along the railroad right-of-way, the buildings constituted a property of identical buildings, each having a simple gable-roofed form (minus monitor) generated from Quartermaster Corps plan no. The stables were of the straight, double-loaded, central corridor type with identical, un-gated stalls lining the sides (Parkhurst and Thiel PART II. ARCHITECTURAL INFORMATION A. General Statement 1. Architectural character: Like the other six stables in this complex, Building is distinctive for its simple morphology, a form most suited to its original function, the stabling of seventy-eight cavalry mounts. Generated from an elongated rectangular footprint, its walls arise punctuated by a regular array of double-hung and square windows, and its cap is a low-pitch, gabled roof.

In addition, its exposed structural system is an elegant, although rustic, integration of repetitious components (HASS No. AZ-210-A-1; HABS No. AZ-210-A-2; HASS No. AZ-210-A-3; HABS No. AZ-2"10-A sheet 4, elevations). The prototypical cavalry stable was an elongated, gable-roofed building with concrete foundations and a frame bearing wall system with interior posts installed along a central aisle that supported repetitive, exposed roof framing. Exterior walls were board and batten, and roofing was corrugated metal. There were three door openings, one on each gable end and one on the north side wall to allow mounts access into the paddock. Ramps were pro- vided where needed.

Readable photographs of the main entry doors alone can be found showing a pair of swinging, wood panel doors with one light above. Fenestration included six-over-six double-hung windows for storage rooms near the east end and an array of square, six-light, sliding windows to illuminate individual stalls. Inside, on either side of the central aisle at the east end were a forage and grain room and a saddle room. These rooms had concrete floors plus vertical board siding along the aisle and horizontal wood sheathing inside. The end wall of each room, which formed one side of an adjacent stall, was reinforced by thicker, horizontal, board sheathing. Each room had two panel doors on the aisle and ceilings were board and batten.

The rest of the building was devoted to the stabling of horses and mules in repetitive, dou- ble-stall bays defined by the wood posts. Here the walls were unfinished with exposed fram- ing. There was no ceiling other than the roof framing clad in corrugated metal. The floor was dirt. Stall rails were framed into the back of each post, and there were no gates at the aisle. Mangers were attached to walls where animals were tethered. 2. Condition of fabric: The overall structural condition of Building is sound in spite of its vintage, its vacant, neglected state, and its current exposure to the elements through open doors and some unglazed window openings.

Its foundations and framing are largely intact, due to its initial good workmanship, durable materials and, until recently, its mainte- nance. Its exterior cladding is weathering and currently is in fair~to-poor condition. FORT HUACHUCA, CAVALRY STABLE HABS No. AZ-210-A (Page 6) B. Description of Exterior 1. Overall dimensions: Building is 219 ft, 1O inches long by 30 ft, 6 inches wide. The walls are 10 ft, 8 inches high from the top of the stem wall to the top of the wall plate. The gable height is 18 ft, 1 inch. 2. Foundations: Foundations are hand-poured, board-formed concrete and comprise a continuous 8-inch- to 10-inch-thick stem wall. It is unlikely there is any steel reinforcing in this foundation.

Due to the site slope, the stem wall is not visible near the east end of the building, but it is exposed along the entire north fa9ade and elsewhere. The stem wall shows approximately 1 ft, 9 inches from grade to the lower edge of siding boards on the southwest corner and 4 ft, 2 inches on the northwest corner. Its hand-poured quality is seen in occa- sional voids and seams from uneven board placement. In places, the stem wall has been coated with a thin layer of cement material, and it is painted tan to match the current color of the walls. The stem wall is currently in fair condition with some cracks, abrasion, and corner deterioration. There is no sign of major structural cracking.

Where the wall is deteriorated or in voids, it can be seen that a large stone aggregate was used in the original concrete mix (Figure A.3). A small excavation in the earth reveals that interior wood posts bear on a small concrete pad, approximately 7 inches square in plan and installed level with the top of the wall sill. The full extent of this post foundation member has not been determined. 3. Walls: Exterior walls are structural wood frame sheathed in a vertical board-and-batten system that extends from the eaves and gable rakes to approximately 5 inches below the top of the exposed concrete stem wall. Boards and battens vary slightly in width. The boards average approximately % inch by 9 Y2 inches, and the battens are approximately % inch by 3 inches wide.

The board-and-batten system produces a regular with battens casting shadows at different times of the day and year. Where paint is chipped on this building and the walls of the other cavalry stables, it is evi- dent that there have been at least four coatings of paint on each building. The earliest layer appears to have been a strong Kelly green. The second layer was a cream yellow, and the third a powder blue. The final layer, visible today, is a medium-tan brown. The condition of the exterior walls at this time ranges from fair to poor, with the poor condi- tion largely on the south and west walls. Although painted, some boards and battens are split and broken or dislodged from the frame. Deterioration is especially evident along the lower edges.

The last coating of paint is also weathered and deteriorating, especially on the south fac;ade (Figure A.4). 4. Structural system, framing: The integrated, repetitious structural system is easy to study because it is exposed inside. It is a wood frame bearing wall system on continuous concrete foundations with two internal, longitudinally placed rows of regularly spaced posts along a central aisle. The posts are braced and tied to the walls, the sloping roof rafters and across the aisle by lateral, longitudinal, and diagonal members. The elegant manner in which the rustic framing elements fit together to form an integrated structure that has sur- vived since is noteworthy. In addition, when rails were attached, the of the posts created bays for individual stalls.

Posts, roof framing members, and nailing boards FORT HUACHUCA, CAVALRY STABLE HABS No. AZ-210-A (Page 7) appear to be of redwood, whereas wall studs and exterior board siding are probably of fir (Figure A.5; HABS No. AZ-210-A-12; HABS No. AZ-210-A sheet 3, building sections). The bearing walls are 2" x 6" studs (approximately 1 5/8 inches by 5 Yz inches actual size) with variable spacing, ranging from 17 ~ inches to 19 Yz inches on center. There is no sheathing on the inner wall faces. The studs are toe-nailed to a 6-inch by 8-inch wood sill anchored to the concrete stem wall by large bolts at 6 ft, 6 inches on center. There are dou- ble plates atop the studs and horizontal 2" x 4" blocking at 1 ft, 0 inches, 3 ft, 6 inches, and 6 ft, 8 inches above the sill. Openings are double-framed.

The posts are 6" x 6" redwood timbers that extend from below the floor to the bottom edge of a rafter. Except for the longitudinal 3" x 1O" support header and the 3" x 6" tie beam at the top of the posts, framing members are 2" x The most striking pattern occurs longitudi- nally along the aisle, where posts are tied at the top and at 9 ft, 9 inches above the floor and there are flanking, diagonal, braces. This bracing gives a truss-like appearance. Each post is also connected to the top of the nearest wall by a tie beam attached to a rafter and the wall plate. Such tying occurs on the east side of every sixth rafter. Roof rafters are 2" x 6"s that extend beyond the walls to form overhanging eaves. They tie into a 3" x 8" ridge member.

Above the rafters are 2" x 4" nailing boards to which corrugated metal roofing is attached. The 2" x 4"s extend beyond the gable walls to form rake over- hangs. Rafters are generally, but not always, aligned with studs. The entire structural system is fastened together with framing nails (HABS No. AZ-210-A sheet 5, wall sections 4 and 4A). Structural members are in remarkable condition considering the vintage. Some posts have rotated, and some blocking is missing from wall framing. In addition, signs of equine gnaw- ing can be seen on posts and wall framing. Inside, daylight appears through numerous gaps where battens do not adequately cover the exterior boards. Exterior splits on board siding can be seen inside. 5.

Entrance aprons, ramps, and exterior stairs: Photographs on forms No.173a and No. 117 do_ not show any kind of grade-level apron at the principal, east entry up to (Figures A.2, A-S.1). It is not known when the current, slightly sloped, angled, 0- inch-wide concrete apron was installed, but it probably happened between and when the building was converted to a storage facility. Due to the site slope, ramps or stairs have been needed to provide access from grade to the other entrance doors of Building Today there is a sloping, stone feature at the north door that may be_ the original ramp used for leading cavalry mounts into the north paddock. With respect to the current enlarged door opening, the offset location of the ramp indicates it originally served a smaller door.

This feature is constructed of sloped, packed earth retained by curved, mortared-stone, side walls (HABS No. AZ-21 O-A-8.). Because the south sliding door is nearly at grade, it requires no ramp feature. There is, in- stead, a 2-inch-wide by 0-inch-long concrete slab apron to serve this door. The west door is accessed by a natural earth ramp that extends to the west. FORT HUACHUCA, CAVALRY STABLE HABS No. AZ-210-A (Page 8) 6. Chimneys: There is a through-the-roof metal flue for an office space heater in the north- east corner of the building. 7. Openings: a. Doorways and doors: Currently, Building has four exterior doors, one on each fayade. Only the east and west door openings are original (slightly modified), although the doors themselves are not.

The current north opening is an enlargement of the original one that fit into a single bay. It is located between the tenth and twelfth posts from the east end. As the photograph on Form No. 173a shows, there was originally no door on the south wall (Figure A.2). Today's south opening is between the ninth and eleventh posts. Re- lated to these side opening modifications, the lower 11 ft of each post was cut and removed to accommodate access for a probable vehicle (HASS No. AZ-210-A sheet 5, wall sections 1, 3, 6, and 7). The east or principal doorway opening is 9 ft, 11 inches wide by 9 ft, 6 inches high. It has a pair of custom-built hinged doors. Being unlike those in the property record card pho- tograph, these doors are of a more recent vintage.

They are not quite of equal size, with the north leaf approximately 1 Y:z inches wider than the south leaf. Each leaf is an assembly of plywood panels in grooved board stiles and rails. The corners are secured by diagonal sheet metal plates to which hinges are attached along the swing edges. Likewise, the central rail is secured by metal edge straps. The metal elements, which appear on both sides of the door, are through-bolted. The west opening is 7 ft, 10 Y:z inches wide by 9 ft, O inches high. On the exterior is a non- original, single-leaf sliding door suspended by metal brackets from a metal track. This door is wider than its opening and slides to the north. It, too, is an assembly of plywood and wood stiles and rails, but it is framed so that its inner face is flush.

It is secured by screws and lacks the sheet metal elements found on the east door (Figure A.6). The south opening is 12 ft, 5 inches wide by 9 ft, 10 inches high. It has a pair of sliding doors similar in construction to that of the east doors. The north opening is 1O ft, 8 3/8 inches wide by 7 ft, 10 inches high. These doors, too, are of the same vintage and construc- tion style as the east doors. b. Windows: Windows are a very interesting feature on this building, and they reflect for- mer interior use. They are located on the south and north walls only. Most original windows remain. The former saddle and grain storage rooms, used by humans only, have double- hung windows of a type customary for the era.

Each former stall is served by a custom- sliding, square window with multi-light glazing. The window sash itself was manufactured. The bottom of the window sill is located approximately 5 ft, 2 Y:z inches from the foundation sill. Undoubtedly, equines were tethered so that they were unable to reach the glass (HASS No. AZ-210-A sheet 6, window elevations and details). Currently there are three window treatments in the original window openings. Alteration of the original stall windows has occurred in the area of the converted veterinary zone only. The three treatments include: (1) retention of original sliding and double-hung windows; (2) permanent fixing of some original sliding sash; and (3) removal of sliding sash to create FORT HUACHUCA, CAVALRY STABLE HASS No.

AZ-210-A (Page 9) unglazed openings with exterior-frame mesh grilles. Windows have multiple-pane sash and %-inch by 2 %-inch exterior casing with a trim piece below a 1 %-inch by 8-inch sill. Identical, six-over-six double-hung windows are found on the east end to serve the former saddle shop and the grain storage room. There are three on the south favade and two on the north. They are in 8-inch by 2-inch rough openings (HABS No. AZ-210-A-7). Window sashes of the stalls have six panes and slide open inside on unusual, custom-built 4-inch-long tracks. Windows and tracks have a tongue and groove to facilitate position- ing. The windows are installed in 10-inch by 9 %-inch openings.

While the other cavalry stables have the same size and type of sash, the existence of the tracks for sliding has not been found elsewhere (Figure A. 7). On the north wall in the former veterinary zone, the two westernmost windows have been modified into fixed windows. Their tracks have been removed, and they have screens on the exterior. All other windows in this zone are now open without sash. They have welded metal screen on the inside and are secured outside by a chain-link type, metal mesh in a wood frame bolted through the window casing. The frame for this grill is a 1 Yz" x 3 This secu- rity grill type is used on several other cavalry stables (Figure A.8). On the east wall of the original north storage room is a small 1-inch-wide by 7-inch- high opening covered with wire mesh.

Obviously a later modification and covered inside with white painted plywood, its use is unknown. Most windows, exterior casing, and grill frames are very weathered but repairable. Glazing is largely intact except where sash was removed. The south double-hung windows are se- verely deteriorated. 8. Roof: a. Shape, covering: The roof is a low-pitch gable. Its slope is degrees. Since the prin- cipal building entry is on the gabled wall of the east fa9ade, this is a front-gabled roof form. Form 173a indicates that the original roofing was "corrugated iron," and the current corrugated metal may be original or over 50 years old (Figure A.2). At the rakes, the metal is bent over to form a drip edge.

Inside, most of the roofing is painted light tan, like approxi- mately one-third of the roof framing members. Near the south door the paint has adhered to the roofing manufacturer's logo. The logo is a circle with the words "The Brier Hill St. Com- pany," "service" and "Youngstown, O" written on it. The Brier Hill Steel Company was one of the early steel giants in Ohio, now known as North Star Steel of Ohio, part of Cargill Steel (Chattey b. Eaves: Eaves comprise exposed 2" x 6" rafter ends that extend to form a 11-inch overhang. The gable rakes, supported by the nailing boards, overhang approximately 11 inches. There is a frieze board at the rakes and eaves. Eaves are generally in fair condition, because framing members have been painted.

There is weathering of rafter ends, some de- formed or torn roofing, and paint peeling. FORT HUACHUCA, CAVALRY STABLE HABS No. AZ-210-A (Page 10) C. Description of Interior 1. Floor plan: Today this single-story stable building is a long, vacant hall zoned so that the former forage and grain and saddle rooms, along with their storage additions, occupy the east end on either side of an approximately 10-ft-wide aisle (HASS No. AZ 210-A sheet 3, floor plan). Defined by posts, the aisle courses through an extensive area once devoted to the stabling of horses and mules (HABS No. AZ-21 O-A-9; HABS No. AZ-21 O-A-10). Wooden posts form a repetitive pattern of bays, each formerly a stall (HASS No. AZ-21 O-A-11 ).

As mentioned, there are four exterior door openings, with the principal entry on the east end. With the exception of double-hung windows, stall windows are centered in bays to form a regular array 011 the exterior. Lit by double-hung windows, the original storage rooms remain, although some modifica- tions have occurred. Posts are visible in these rooms despite wall cladding. When parti- tioned into two offices, the former forage and grain room was divided by a frame partition with a door. A later storage addition was added to the west end of each original room, cre- ated by modifying a single stall. The storage additions still incorporate the original square windows and stall rails in their west walls.

The veterinary facility modification, separated by a floor-to-ceiling frame partition once sheathed in plywood (now removed), occupies approximately the west 57 ft, 4 inches of the building. In this zone, another frame room, now largely dismantled, is located in the northwest corner. Shown to be pre-existing on the plans, this is probably the storage room built in for $1, 120 on the real property record (U.S. Army Form 2. Stairways: None. 3. Flooring: The original concrete slab floors of the storage rooms remain. Well-built, they have control joints at the middle of posts and are level with the sill. The slabs are painted gray and extend under the interior partitions. The south and north storage additions have concrete flooring of an inferior quality.

The intermediary stall area has an earth floor, the original condition. A crust and a few chunks indicate that at some point the entire earth area may later have been concreted. A concrete slab remains that was installed to connect the north and south doorways. As shown in the plans, the 4-inch slab currently installed in the veterinary zone slopes toward the aisle and the west door. Originally it was meant to be covered with heavy duty, rubber dairy mats (Facilities Engineering Directorate ). 4. Wall and ceiling finish: The interior walls of the stable area, including the veterinary zone, are unfinished, open-frame walls enclosed by the backside of the exterior sheathing boards.

In most of this area, they are painted black up to approximately 4 ft, 7 inches above the sill, and white above (Figure 9). In contrast, the walls of the original storage rooms and their additions are sheathed with wooden boards. Along the aisle, the outer wall cladding of the 2" x 4" frame partitions of the former forage and grain and saddle rooms is intact and may look much as it did initially. It comprises verti- cal boards, straight jointed without battens. Boards are full-length, being approximately 1O ft, 6 1h inches long. Like the open-frame walls, these walls are also painted black below and white above. The outer face of each original west wall is now visible inside the storage addi- tions.

It comprises a base of 2" x 11" horizontal boards up to approximately 3 ft, 6 inches in FORT HUACHUCA, CAVALRY STABLE HABS No. AZ-210 A (Page 11) height with 9-inch boards vertically installed above. The heavy horizontal boards were no doubt thicker to withstand the presence of a horse or mule stabled in the end stalls. Along the aisle, the storage additions continue the vertical siding pattern, but the boards are more irregular in size and less carefully installed (HABS No. AZ-21 O-A-13; HASS No. AZ-210-A sheet 6, sections DD and EE). The outer faces of the west walls of the storage additions contain a most important revela- tion. These walls are partly constructed from the original stall rails. From this discovery, it is now possible to know how all stalls were railed initially.

By examining the posts, it is evident that stalls were probably open on the aisle end, as in the original troop stables. The rails, varying in size from 2" x 5"s to 2" x were framed into the wall side of each post. There were five rails with a lower nailing board. (Today, the lower board is partly exposed on the wall and otherwise nearly buried in the earth between some of the stalls.) On the top rail is a metal strip attached by tiny nails to prevent wood gnawing by the occupants of the stall (Fig- ure A.10). Since the rails have gaps between them, the west walls required enclosure to create the storage room additions. For the north addition, wide vertical boards were installed on the east face of the rails.

For the south addition, a make-shift wall of 2" x 4" slats was built up above the rails. This was enclosed by vertical sheathing inside the storage room addition (HABS No. AZ-210-A sheet 6, interior section The interior cladding on the forage and grain and saddle room walls varies. The former sad- dle room has intact and either original or early %" x 3 W' horizontal, redwood sheathing. It is painted cream yellow up to 3 ft, 1O inches in height, and white above (HABS No. AZ-21 O-A- The modified, former forage and grain room still has some of the original 3 horizon- tal siding, but a later siding of different widths has been added. The 2" x 4" partition that di- vides the original space into two offices is clad in gypsum wallboard.

The south storage ad- dition has vertical straight-board sheathing and tongue-and-groove siding, painted black and white as elsewhere. The north storage addition has unpainted, redwood, %" x 3" tongue- and-groove sheathing installed horizontally and vertically. The walls of the dismantled utility room, located in the northwest corner, are now clad in gypsum wallboard up to the top level of the window casing. There are no ceilings in the open stable area, but they do exist in the original storage rooms and additions. Now dismantled, there was also a frame ceiling in the northwest utility room. Both the forage and grain and saddle rooms have the original, clad, frame ceiling, painted white. Cladding is constructed of 1" x 9" boards with 1" x 2" battens running longitudinally east and west.

The ceiling height is approximately 1O ft. The north storage addition has red- wood, tongue-and-groove sheathing installed to run east to west. The ceiling of the utility room, framed with 2' x 6" joists with plywood sheathing above and gypsum wallboard below, is mostly missing today (HABS No. AZ-210-A sheet 6, saddle room wall sections 5 and SA). 5. Openings: a. Doorways and doors: Interior openings and doors pertain to the forage and grain and saddle rooms and their additions. There are five openings and one enclosed former opening visible along the aisle. The saddle room has two door openings. The east opening, 2 ft, 11 FORT HUACHUCA, CAVALRY STABLE HASS No. AZ-210-A (Page 12) inches by 6 ft, 8 inches, looks original, but its door is currently missing.

It has %" x 5 %" cas- ing on the aisle face and %" x 3" casing inside. This door has an early, if not original, raised threshold made from a 4" x 4" with an iron cap nailed on top (Figure A.11 ). Apparently, the second opening once matched the east opening in size. Now enlarged, this %-inch- wide opening had a pair of flush, swinging plywood doors. One is now missing. The south storage addition retains its early, 5 ~-inch by 8-inch, six-panel wooden door painted black and white to match the walls (Figure A.12; HABS No. AZ-210-A, sheet 6, door details 1). The former forage and grain room has an enclosed doorway at the east end. Its casing re- mains intact, and the opening is otherwise filled-in with vertical boards.

There is no sign of this doorway inside, which indicates the horizontal siding was installed later. The original second opening is missing its door. This opening has been modified recently by lowering its lintel height. In the gypsum wallboard partition of this modified storage room is a contempo- rary 3 ft, 0-inch flush panel door with a recent, broken, metal lock set. The north storage addition has a 7 %-inch-wide, five-panel wooden door. Stored in the dismantled utility room in the northwest corner of the building is a flush door clad in mint green plastic laminate. This door no doubt pertains to the era of the veterinary use. b. Windows: Noted elsewhere. 6.

Tack holding features: The saddle room today has a number of features on its north and south walls that may relate to earlier storage of tack. On the west end of the north wall are four black-painted, arched segments of wood mounted on a horizontally installed, 1" x 6" board. This board has quarter round molding along its lower edge and sculpted molding above. The arched segments are 2 ~ inches high and 8 inches long. Mounted on a trimmed 1" x 6" on the east end of this wall are alternating pegs and arched segments (Figure A.13). The south wall has areas where former rectangular-shaped features have been removed from the wall and from a 1" x 4", horizontally installed board. The natural, unpainted color of the redwood wall sheathing can be seen in the exposed areas. 7.

Hardware: None original. 8. Mechanical equipment: a. Heating, air-conditioning, ventilation: When first constructed, the building had no me- chanical equipment. Ventilation, a necessity for a stable, was provided through operable windows. According to the real property record, the space heater in the east office of the modified north saddle room was installed in (U.S. Army Form It is a dented, "Brilliant Fire" gas heater with a 4-inch-diameter flue that passes through a makeshift hole in the roof. It has a 1-inch gas connection (Figure A.14). b. Lighting: Although some of the porcelain knob fittings remain from the original electrical installation, wiring and light fixtures have been removed. The real property record notes a 30-amp connection with #8 wire.

Fluorescent lights were installed in probably in the storage rooms (U.S. Army Form In during the veterinary facility modification, FORT HUACHUCA, CAVALRY STABLE HABS No. AZ-210-A (Page 13) new wiring was installed, two existing fluorescent fixtures were relocated to the northwest storage room, and five fluorescent fixtures were installed over the aisle in the stall area (Fa- cilities Engineering Directorate ). c. Plumbing: The building record card notes a %-inch water connection and a 4-inch sewer (U.S. Army War Dept. ). A new water line was provided for the work, and each stall was served with a water container and faucet (Facilities Engineering Directorate ). d.

Detection/Protection: A fire alarm system with photoelectric-heat detectors was in- stalled in (Facilities Engineering Directorate D. Site 1. General setting and orientation: Near the northwest corner of the intersection of Hun- gerford Avenue and Clarkson Road, Building is the southernmost unit of Fort Hua- chuca's historic cavalry stable complex in the former, expanded Quartermaster area east of Huachuca Creek. The building is an integral component of a property of seven parallel, regularly arranged, matching units aligned along Clarkson Road and spaced approximately 70 ft apart, with former paddocks in between. These elongated, gable-roofed buildings are southeast-northwest trending.

Given the spatial quality inherent in the regulated positioning of these buildings, the complex itself can be considered a single historic property. The site incorporates the stable complex and a surrounding area that includes the right-of- way of former El Paso and Southwestern railroad tracks to the east, Hungerford Avenue to the south, Huachuca Creek to the west, and part of the parking lot of Building to the north. The terrain slopes considerably to the northwest. Today's Clarkson Road, once an unnamed dirt access way, is asphalt paved. The historic railroad right-of-way, just east of Clarkson Road, comprises a level bed along the top of a steep embankment.

There is a stone-lined drainage ditch along the east edge of the railroad bed and several Depression- era mortared, stone masonry features, including stairs and a retaining wall, within view of the buildings. Large, historic cottonwood trees grow along the railroad bed and downslope to the west along Huachuca Creek, a dry watercourse for much of the year (HABS No. AZ-210 sheet 2; Parkhurst and Thiel The microsite of Building includes an earth strip between the east side of the building and Clarkson Road, the location of the concrete entrance apron. Also included is the former paddock area, an area of grass and packed earth between this building and Building Currently this paddock is enclosed by an 8-ft-high chain-link fence with a gate off Clarkson Road (Figure A.15).

To the south and west of Building is an unfenced zone of trimmed grass and packed earth that extends to the paved access road and parking lots for the nearby veterinary facility.

Architectural Drawings: This building was constructed from the Office of the Construct- ing Quartermaster Corps (O.C.Q.C.) standardized plan no. as noted on the initial prop- erty record card (U.S.A.Q.M.C. The plans were not found at Fort Huachuca or other depositories of records.

During the period when Fort Huachuca was deactivated and reacti- vated several times, from to drawings and records were removed from the post and apparently lost (Parkhurst and Thiel The U.S. Army generated one early twentieth-century, standardized plan that is very similar to the Fort Huachuca cavalry stable plan (Construction Division of the Army 1919:plate It has the same elongated layout, front-gabled form, framing system, and fenestration found in plan no. This closed stable features a double-loaded, central-aisle, straight-stall plan with saddle and forage rooms at one end of the building. Mangers are mounted on the frame walls (Figure A-S.3). B. Early Views: Early views of Building are found on the initial property record card, Form No. 173a and the card, Form No.

Likely Sources Not Yet Investigated: The occupancy history of Building has not been completely documented. It would be useful to know whose horses were stabled in the building after the Cavalry departed, as well as who used the building when it was a storehouse rather than a stable. An Army personnel record search for individuals who might have worked in the stables could prove useful. FORT HUACHUCA, CAVALRY STABLE HABS No. AZ-210-A (Page 26) F.
