What could create a more wonderful holiday memory than a carriage ride on a starry night? Our large city park has a history brick carriage house. Two double doors provide space for the carriages and stalls for the horses. The upper story has an apartment for the care-taker and driver.
Check the Details:
Lots of holiday boughs and red bows adorn the building, and carefully trimmed topiaries and a corner wrought iron fence flank the entrances. The old sign with the name “Smith & Sons” recalls a time when the local blacksmiths also served as horse farriers. Note the year of establishment on the sign, 1756 – and the address, 56 Parkway.
Accessory:
“Holiday Trimmings”
The carriage driver prepares the horse for a very special holiday evening.
The horses mane is carefully brushed and braided. Bright red ribbons are woven into the tail.
