Charles E. Roberts Stable

Wright's 1896 work here was alteration rather than new build, reworking an existing stable for a client whose house he also remodelled that year. It was converted to living quarters between 1903 and 1905 and then physically moved to its present site in 1929, which makes it one of the few Wright structures in the village not standing where it was put up. It carries heritage protection and is a private dwelling today.
