This photograph, taken in 1909, shows one of President William H. Taft's horses standing near the White House stables. The horse was named in tribute of its former owner, Tate Sterrett, of Fassifern Farms in Hot Springs, Virginia. The High Victorian mansard-roofed structure is the last version of the White House Stables before they were demolished in 1911. This stable was built during the Ulysses S. Grant administration in 1871, and expanded for President Benjamin Harrison in 1891.
