Livingston'sches Stallgebäude
Livingston'sches Stallgebäude stands at the corner of Ulmenstraße and Kettenhofweg in Frankfurt’s Westend district. Christian Ludwig Schmidt designed the Neorenaissance building for businessman Marks John Livingston between 1880 and 1882. Its roofline gathers a horse bust, ridge lattice, sculptural decoration and a clock turret above the street. An Atlas figure supports the corner facing both roads.
The original stable and carriage house included living quarters for staff and an unusual solution to limited space. A specially built lift carried carriages to the upper floor, where they were stored above ground. After the Second World War, a cabaret and an ADOX Fotowerke warehouse occupied the building. Citizen initiatives later helped preserve the protected monument from decay, while the upper floor eventually housed the Frankfurt Press Club.
