Carriage houses at the turn of the
century were used much the same way
garages are used today.  Rosemount's
carriage house consisted of a tool room,
wash room, stables, harness room,
carriage room, hay loft and attendant's
apartment.

The architect, Henry Hudson Holly,
designed chutes in the stable ceilings
for animal feed to move from the loft
floor.

Holly also designed the harness room
(where the modern bathrooms are now
located) to be extra large allowing for a
"smoking room for gentlemen in the
morning and as a pleasant resort for
male servants in the evening."  

All of the floors were originally pine
planks, except the wash room, which
was cement.  The interior walls are
brick with tongue-and-groove, beaded
siding.  The outside of the building is
faced with rhyolite stone similar, but on
a smaller scale, to that of the main
house.  The greenhouse was located to
the west of the carriage house.

The carriage house main floor was
completely remodeled and outfitted in
1981 to become a tea room and
restaurant.  The popular establishment
was called Lindy's the first fifteen years
of operation.  

Other major remodelings were
accomplished in 1996.  In August
1996 the café reopened as The
Carriage House At Rosemount.  

In the Fall of 2003 Chef Ron Charlton
Entered into a long term commitment
to continue the twenty plus year
legacy that Lindy started so many
years ago.
