The original stable was built in 1730 by the Reverend Daniel Wadsworth which burned in 1801 and was subsequently re-built in the 18th-century Palladian styleby Daniel Wadsworth, grandson of the Reverend Daniel, and son of Jeremiah Wadsworth, Commissary General under George Washington, in the early 1820s . Facing destruction, the stable was disassembled piece by piece and moved from Hartford to Lebanon in 1954.
