QR Code Link to This Post First a short history lesson. In the 1890's thru about the 1920's many of the wealthy families had servants, butlers and stable hands. The large house located at 405 West 2nd had the house at 115 N. Sanborn and 415 West 2nd for their servants or children. The building now known as 409 West 2nd was a stable or carriage house. The stable hand or butler would have lived in the upper level of this building with the horses and the carriage below. Once the age of automobiles was here these carriage houses were converted into garages or small houses many times they were called mother-in-law houses. . .because the mother-in-law would many times out live the father-in-law. . .and then the children would care for their mother-in-law until her passing. . .History lesson over.
