Lemuel Nichols operated the stables under different names, including Grand Central Stables, on Central Street in downtown Bangor for several decades. Mr. Nichols died May 4, 1905 (1905 Bangor city directory)

Enoch F. Chandler sold boots and shoes at the same location during this time. The 1897-1898 Bangor city directory indicates his business had moved to 314 Ohio Street.
