The 182 East 73rd Street Building is an example of the type of commercial stable built during the 19th century throughout New York City. Constructed in 1890 to house the S. Kayton & Co. Stable, the building both contrasts with and complements the private carriage houses that line most of East 73rd Street between Lexington and Third Avenues. The stable was designed by Andrew Spense Mayer, the architect of a contemporary group of rowhouses in the Hamilton Heights Historic District(423 West 141st Street and 1-11 Hamilton Terrace, 1888-92).
