And this is the documentary shot.

I was taken with the faded sign on the brick which says Horses and Trucks To Hire, and discovered that yes, this used to be a stable.  The address is listed on the Corcoran Real Estate website as having been SOLD and the short history provided there tells us this 3 story building was built in 1911 and "originally used as a horse stable."  Then in the 70s, the interior was redesigned to make it a residence.  Since those papers attached to the door are work permits, I imagine that the exterior is due for a redesign and soon we will no longer be able to see the faded sign about Horses to Hire or the old stable door.
