This pioneer-era stone stable originally stood in an alley near the First English Lutheran Church on Main Street and was moved in 2007 to its present site near the Depot Museum. A rare example of early stone construction in the city, it has walls of irregularly coursed limestone rubble, probably quarried locally, with widely varying stone sizes, large stones over the window openings, and a prominent stone arch over the main entrance. Its rough-built doors and shutters are typical of 19th-century outbuildings. Its first use is uncertain: its location suggests a residential outbuilding serving as a horse barn and/or carriage house, but its size and construction are unusual for a typical pioneer-era outbuilding. Historic records indicate it was probably built by Nelson Combs, a New Englander who came to Whitewater in 1845 and was listed as a wagon-maker in the 1850 census, so it may have been built as a small wagon shop. Combs left Whitewater around 1852, and for the rest of the 19th century the building was used as a horse barn. For a time, a large frame addition was attached and used for the horses and carriages of members of the nearby Congregational Church, and eventually the stone stable was acquired by the First English Lutheran Church. In 2003 it was scheduled for demolition, but local citizens formed the Stone Stable Leadership Group, raised funds, and volunteered many hours to disassemble and reconstruct it, and it was dedicated on this site on November 17, 2007. A time capsule within the front wall contains personal stories and artifacts collected during the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Home-Coming festival of 1907. The stone stable is owned by the City of Whitewater and leased to the Whitewater Historical Society.
