It is the only surviving part of Philo Remington's 1870 mansion estate. It is also noted as a simple but eclectic building that echoes the motifs of the vanished mansion.","narrative":"Overlooking the Remington Arms factory complex in Ilion, New York, this brick building was built around 1870 as the stables of Philo Remington's mansion. It has three connected parts: a square central block, a three-story engaged tower with rose windows, and a lower rear extension. Arched windows with corbeled brick hoodmoulds, quoins and bracketed cornices decorate the walls. The design mixes motifs from European castles, Italian villas and English churches. The mansion was demolished in the late 1920s or about 1930, leaving the stables as the only surviving piece of the estate. In the 1930s the interior was fitted with partitions and a stage for use as a theater, and a local theater club has owned it since. The building is tied to the Remington family, whose three generations of gunmakers and inventors built Ilion into an important manufacturing center. Its lavish detailing reflects that family's wealth and standing.","period_of_significance":"1870","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Eclectic, with motifs drawn from European castles, Italian villas and English churches","criteria":[],"status_note":"Occupied and in good condition, unaltered, on its original site; used since the 1930s as a theater by the Little Theater Club.
