Livery Stable Map

Map showing the Livery Stable built between a saloon and an empty lot where the Library/Archives is today. As the horse was replaced by the automobile, so livery stables were replaced by garages and by 1930 the lot’s building was catering to this new mode of transportation. The 1930 Sanborn fire insurance map identifies the building has having a capacity for 25 cars on its wooden floor. By the 1950s, Roggenthein’s Garage” was operated by Mr. and Mrs. Roggenthein who lived in a small house to the rear, converted from its earlier use as a stable. Another fire brought down the front of the garage and by 1960 only the floor itself remained. This remnant was torn down by 1964.
