William Cooper's large livery stables occupy part of the lot at 97-99 Charles Street in the 1850s
Before the present building, part of this lot was occupied in the 1850s by the large livery stables of William Cooper & Co. The Cooper family home stood nearby at No. 101, with stables on both sides of it. Only a big stable on Eighth Street near Sixth Avenue was said to rival them in size. A carriage factory later replaced the stables.
“…on the site of part of the extensive livery stables of William Cooper & Co. which were there in the Eighteen-fifties.”
