Stable Overhauls Frontage and Adds Carriage Room in Dillon
A. L. Anderson completed major improvements at his livery stable on Idaho and Helens streets in Dillon. The front was rebuilt with wood and sheet iron in brick-work style, a 65 by 40 foot addition expands the carriage room to 65 by 115 feet, and the facility now covers over 125 feet along the street with extensive under-roof storage and improved stables for 100 horses. The site includes 11,775 square feet of ground under roof plus several thousand square feet of second floor for hay, plus electric lighting, offices, wash facilities, and newly fitted rubber-tired vehicles and hearse. Anderson, in Dillon since 1890, runs a large sale stable and handles shipping of broken barges and horses, earning a reputation as a square dealer and progressive manager.
