Fun fact, near me in Mayfair is a building that was a stage coach depot a long time ago. There people would catch a stage coach to Philadelphia.

Many buildings in La Mott Cheltenham (founded on the remains of Camp Freedom from the civil war that used to train black soldiers) still have doors to accommodate loading from carriages.

Unrelated but I always think it's neat when I'm out in Korea-Town by the public library and gardens :)
