The Claremont Riding Academy, originally Claremont Stables, 175 West 89th Street, between Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues on Manhattan's Upper West Side, was designed by Frank A. Rooke and built in 1892. Closed in 2007, Claremont was the oldest continuously operated equestrian stable in New York City and the last public stable in Manhattan.[2][3] The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980[4] and designated a New York City Landmark in 1990.[5] Since 2010, it has belonged to the Stephen Gaynor School.
