'''Fowler's Livery''', at [[2%20Broadway|2 Broadway]], was owned by liveryman, blacksmith and real estate speculator [[W.%20Smith%20Fowler|W. Smith Fowler]]. He sold it in 1910, to [[William%20H.%20Jack|William H. Jack]], who erected the [[Jack%20Block|Jack Block]] on part of the site. It was later operated by [[Giles%20Bombard|Giles Bombard]] and became '''Bombard's Livery'''.

The 1902 ''Adirondack Directory'' contained an advertisement for "Fowler & Galloway's Livery and Transfer Company, Established 1880"

A heavily remodeled quonset hut occupies the site now; perhaps it was the heated garage.
