At first, people saw carriage houses as storage space for wagons or buggies. As fewer people used horses to get around, they often converted them to other uses.

In the late 1800s, it was used as a car dealership for R. Bertelli & Co.

In the 1900s, it was home to an eccentric artist with a lofty pedigree: “Sheriff Bob” Chanler.

The home was last on the market in 2020 for about $6.5 million, real estate site StreetEasy reported.

Today, the carriage house is part of a luxury condominium building.

The outdoor “hallway” was once an open alley between the two buildings.

The kitchen features a 20-foot-tall vaulted ceiling.
