Upon purchasing an expensive carriage, Charles Francis Adams needed a place to store it. The son and grandson of U.S. Presidents, Charles Francis Adams married a wealthy woman, Abigail Brooks, which afforded him extra comforts unavailable to his parents and grandparents. They built this Carriage House in 1873, which not only housed the carriage and horses but also the coachman and family telephone.
