According to the indispensable Forgotten NY,
Stable Court is one of those "only-on-maps" streets. Many maps show Stable Court on the west side of Cooper Square just north of East 4th Street.
No court is immediately apparent. But...
...a driveway alongside the brick building that harbors the Village Voice offices goes west, then north, just like the maps say Stable Court does. So, maybe Stable Court isn't just fiction after all.
Just south of Stable Court, or where it's supposed to be, stands the Old Merchant's House Museum, in which a colonial-era town house owned and occupied by the Tredwell family for centuries is maintained in the style of the 19th Century.
So will there actually be a court/street/alley here?
As you can see, there is a gap between 2 Cooper and the Kaplan Building...
And Stable Court flows into the empty lot between 2 Cooper and the Merchant House...
I'm very curious to see what becomes of this lot... and of Stable Court...
