I think it
might be a bit late for stables.
Here, in ca 1898, the street frontages have been graded, leaving the cemetery on a wedge-shaped piece of land:

By 1910 more apartments had been built on the block:

1921. The cemetery has been transformed into a playground:

A permit was pulled in 1921 to move LAHS No.1 back 100'.
A permit from 1922 allows a 2-story, eight-room building to be built on the former LAHS No.1 site designed by Chauncey Fitch Skilling.
Does anyone know if this happened? It hadn't by the time of
tetsu's photo. Plans must have changed.
The building in question looks rather like an auditorium/gymnasium to me (as
e_r has already said).
