Site of Coloma Livery Stables:
Livery stables were the service stations of the 19th century. They provided hay and grain, stables for the animals, and vehicle maintenance. They also kept horses, mules, carriages and wagons to rent, trade or sell. One of several liveries stood here. The Stephens, Brower and Company was reputed to have the best saddle horses in the country. The company had brought the old US Hotel building and remodeled it into a spacious stables and wagon shop. |
