Lewis Livery Stable
History
9
In the late 1870's Captain William Lewis moved his home, Tanglewood, to Lot 15 in Clinton and built a livery stable on the north end of the lot. The stable became a popular meeting place for Clinton men. After Lewis' death in 1921, Fred and Ed Ratliff converted the stable to a bicycle shop and later to a service station. In 1925 aviator Charles Lindberg bought fuel from the Ratliffs after landing his airplane west of town. During World War II, the building became a hardware store and remained so until 1972, when it was converted to an antique store. In 2013 the building was reconstructed by Tim and Alicia Parkman.
