"The appropriation for a house should be divided into two equal parts, one-half for the house, the other for the gardens, pathways, court, approach, terrace and the rest of it, or, as it might be termed, one-half for the pudding, the other for the sauce." Architect Thomas Hastings

Hunting Stable at "Knole", Old Westbuty, NY
Hunting stable at "Knole", Old Westbuty, built in 1903 for Herman B. Duryea by Carrere and Hastings. The arch piercing the building is the only free access to the court, onto which stalls, utility rooms, and grooms' quarters open.
Some friends lived in the stables in 1989- not sure when they burned but not in the 60s
