Have you ever seen a photo of the White House stables? We haven’t actually come across one until we found this at the Library of Congress. How cool is this? The photo was taken by Lewis Emory Walker in 1857 or 1858.

This is probably one of the best photo finds we’ve had. What an incredible view of history. We did another post on the White House stables some time ago. Make sure to check that out.
