Lords Livery Barn.

A. ii. Lord, OF this village, has just
completed one of the finest, if not the
best livery barn in Northwest Wiscon-
sin. Situated on site selected in the
very earliest history of the village for
a livery barn it has the prestige of a
long continued custom from the time
when one or two buggies were all that
could be sent out until the present
when accommodations for 40 Eorses
is required to meet the exigencies of
business.
The building is three stories in
height, including IA basement, the lat
ter being mostly constructed of stone,
In size the barn is 36xll2 feet. the
frame having % feet posts. The base
ment is ten feet IN the clear in height,
having stalls for 40 horses. A cOnven-
lent runway leads from the basement
to the street floor where are kept the
carriages. On this floor also are the
feet in size. Above is the storage
room for hay and grain. The hay is
taken into the building by an improv-
ed hay fork. On the south 81 ie ia an
annex containing room for washing
carriages. This annex is provided
with a pump and windmill and will
also have when completed IL large tank
in the second story for water.
The barn is neatly painted on the
outside and is provided with ventila-
tors for the stable, the outlet being
made an ornamental feature in the
treatment of the architecture of the
exterior The mason work was done
under the charge of Theodore Thomas,
while the carpenter work owes its
completeness to the skill of Mr.. J. w.
Reynolds. The painting was done by
Messrs. Knapp & Gilbertson.
No building lately erected in this
village shows a clearer index of the
growth of the business than this, as il
is emphatically the result of increase
of business arising from the growth
! development of the resources of the
place, and it may be well regarded as
a monument of the enterprise of its
owner and the increase in wealth of
! the town.
