	'''Description: McGibbon Stable''' is a large (4,800 square foot) frame barn on a U-shaped plan, with attached woodshed and housing for workmen. The stable sits on a uncoursed, uncut rubblestone foundation; walls are wood shingled and the roof is asphalt. The center section of the stable is crowned by a wooden ventilator with a simple weathervane above a central clipped gable. Fenestration is varied and includes windows, doors, garage doors and stable doors. On the sanatorium map, McGibbon Stable was shown as one building, but AMA shows it as two buildings, one each of 1,760 and 3,040 square feet. A small concrete block addition on the northeast side dating from 1941 was demolished in 1994.

	'''History:''' In 1908 the Village of Saranac Lake expanded its corporation boundaries and extended [[~~Park Avenue\|~~Park Avenue]] from the northeast edge of Dr. [[Ezra McClellan\|Ezra McClellan]]'s [[Highland Park\|Highland Park]] subdivision to the sanatorium property line. What had been a little-used service entrance to the sanatorium, passing a group of well-worn outbuildings, suddenly became the most accessible entrance, visible from the Village's most exclusive neighborhood. Wood and coal sheds, barns, a laundry, a crematory (probably for medical waste, not for the disposal of human bodies) and other buildings considered unsightly were torn down and replaced by up-to-date facilities that lasted the life of the institution. <sup>1</sup>		'''History:''' In 1908 the Village of Saranac Lake expanded its corporation boundaries and extended [[Park Avenue]] from the northeast edge of Dr. [[Ezra McClellan\|Ezra McClellan]]'s [[Highland Park\|Highland Park]] subdivision to the sanatorium property line.
