It was built in 1908 for the Metropolitan District Commission Police and the Massachusetts State Police mounted units in the Blue Hills Reservation. In 2004, the mounted units were disbanded and the stable was emptied. Although mounted units were reinstated in 2008, there are no plans to stable them here.[2]
The stables were added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 25, 1980.[1]
