The Pullman State Historic Site

The Stables

The Pullman Company required that all horses and carriages be kept in the stables building.

Carved, wooden horse heads set into the facade made the purpose of the building unmistakable. The location of the facility kept clean-up tasks to a minimum. At the turn of the century, a popular Sunday afternoon activity was to rent a carriage and team to tour the countryside and enjoy a family picnic. The cost at that time was $3.00 per day.

See a listing of who worked in the stables.
