The stables at Hamilton
Farm served as a hospital
during World War II, with
surgical tools and medical
supplies stored in what were
designed to be tack rooms.
The glazed brick surfaces from
floors to ceilings made the
facility easy to sterilize, and
the hayloft offered plenty of
overflow space for beds.
In the 1970s, show jumping greats like (from left) Michael
Matz, Buddy Brown, Dennis Murphy, Kathy Kusner, Robert Ridland
and coach Bertalan de Némethy called Gladstone home.
