These stables, built in the early 20th century, were part of a famous egyptologist's property in Newport, Rhode Island. The property was seized during World War II, but after it was returned, it quickly fell to disuse, and the original house burnt down not long after, leaving only these stone stables (fenced off) and the nearby observational tower (open to the public).
This is in a beautiful place in Brenton Point State Park and definitely worth the visit.
(Before the photoset, apologies for the overexposure and bad lighting on a lot of these shots. It was bright and I wasn't as experienced at the time.)
Update: Check out this much better photoset for this location here

| See the little bumpy section in the bottom left sticking up? That was an original base for the walls of a room there, and there were a few more around the place. It looks like it was hollowed out and all the individual walls taken down. |

| The stables themselves. |
 |
| This hole lead to a crawl space that is now almost completely filled up. If you were really, really skinny you could still get in via an entrance outside. |
