In 1895, when William’s buggy business was at its peak, he had a showroom built across the street from his factory. William paid two men, two buggies to build the three-story structure. The ground and third floors were used for storage, the main floor (2nd floor) was the buggy showroom. William rented it to another buggy maker when his business declined after the turn of the century. From 1908 to 1928, he rented the building to an Athletic Club, a hardware salesman and he allowed the Boy Scouts to meet in it. Prior to his death, William began to transform it into an apartment house, but no one ever lived in the building. The Repository now houses a Conestoga wagon, a mail wagon, a racing sulky, a democrat and other horse-drawn vehicles.
