Walker, General Store Description An account of the resource Number 32 on the Burleigh map, the establishment of W[illiam] H. Walker (1839-1917) dates back to at least the late 1870s. His various advertisements are energetic specimens of the day, utilizing all available clip art and typographical tricks to capture the eye. In January 1882 Walker announced that would "clean out" his holiday goods at cost "for the next two weeks"; he still was advertising the sale in late March. The Caledonia fire of Feb. 6, 1891 seems to have impacted Walker's business greatly. Two weeks later, he was trying to sell damaged goods at the customer's price; all sales were cash because "I have no time to keep books." He underwent lengthy legal proceedings against American Central Insurance to recover the full value of a fire insurance policy. It's not clear whether Walker ever re-opened his general store. Increasingly, his energies were directed at civic endeavors--the Livingston Board of Supervisors, the Water Board, and in 1895 Mayor of Caledonia.

Title A name given to the resource Timetables for Erie Railroad Station, Caledonia NY Description An account of the resource Number 9 on the Burleigh map, the Erie Railroad was one of four different lines passing through or near by the town of Caledonia. At the time of Burleigh's panoramic map (1892) the railroad was in dire financial straights and by the next year would declare bankruptcy for the third time in its history, primarily due to cutthroat competition. Two images show the early emergence of marketing railway travel. The first, from 1878, is a train timetable of the sort routinely published in local newspapers: three different railroads are listed without differentiation, as a sort of public utility. No railroad advertisements appear in the paper. The second, an 1893 advertisement, retains this basic information but now reminds local travelers that the "Erie Flyer"--the "best and most convenient train to New York"--departs from nearby Avon. The great metropolis is an overnight trip away in Pullman cars, "the finest in the world."

Espie, Groceries & Crockery Description An account of the resource Number 31 on the Burleigh map, this business was owned by John H. Espie, who was born in 1847 on the Espie Homestead southeast of town. Along with his wife Helen, he bought Gallagher's grocery in 1889 and ran a modest business until the store burned down in the devastating fire of February 6, 1891. Just a year later, it was reported that Espie had "built a handsome new brick building and moved into it with a fine line of new and fresh staple groceries" (see second image). Unfortunately he never seemed to recover; his wife died and Espie, who suffered from poor health, sold the building in 1899. He died in Buffalo in 1920. Against all of these commercial struggles there is evidence that he was respected in town, loved music, and was active in the local temperance society--perhaps a happier side to his life.

Established in the late 1880s, his livery was praised by the Caledonia "Advertiser" for the quality of his equipment and service: "A specialty is made in supplying carriages for weddings, funerals, receptions, and other entertainments" (17 Jan. 1895). The first image dates to 1904, just before automobiles arrived on the scene; the second from 1916 shows that Pullyblank had been forced to adapt his business towards gasoline-powered farming equipment.

Title A name given to the resource John Boorman, Wall Paper, Paints, Oils & Artist, Materials Description An account of the resource Number 27 on the Burleigh map, Boorman's store was a frequent advertiser for its many services. The enterprise was started by Thomas Boorman, a Scottish immigrant whose trade of painting and wallpaper led him to open a small store. It grew in size under John Boorman (1867-1927), who seems to have expanded its services, at the time of this map focusing upon wallpapering, painting, custom picture frames, and other home decoration. In later years Boorman was a manager for the Bell telephone company and ran a pharmacy with his brother James. It's quite possible that all of these operations (and more) were parts of a single enterprise--local merchants often wore many hats.

Title A name given to the resource Caledonia Advertiser, A.H. Collins, Prop. Description An account of the resource Point number 26 on the Burleigh map, the Caledonia Advertiser was founded in 1878 by James Beattie and A[lfred] H. Collins, the latter purchasing sole ownership of the newspaper in 1880. Thereafter, Collins ran the until it merged with the Caledonia Era in 1920 and then he retired in 1922.

According to John William Reps, Lucien R. Burleigh was responsible—whether as artist or publisher—for some 228 lithographic city views (it is possible, even likely that the Caledonia map was executed by an employee named Christian Fausel). Trained as a civil engineer, economic recession pressed Burleigh into finding other ways of making a living. He began city viewmaking during the 1870s and by the mid-1880s was well established in his profession. His usual practice was to work from an available map, determine the most advantageous viewpoint (for a village like Caledonia, typically 1500 feet above the ground), and making small sketches at the street level. Another important task during a two- or three-week stay was soliciting subscriptions for the panorama: it took perhaps 100 persons, each paying $2.50-3:00 for a map, for the project to break even. <br /><br />The Burleigh map’s legend provides us with a snapshot of Caledonia in 1892, just recovering from a major fire in 1891.

Title A name given to the resource Richard Reid, Blacksmithing & Farming Implements Description An account of the resource Number 23 on the Burleigh map, the blacksmith shop of Richard Reid (1860-1930) was an important source for the specialized implements of agriculture--both their forging and repair. Reid was born in Canada, then moved to America at age twenty and learned his trade in Batavia, NY. He moved to Caledonia and ran a business there until closing shop in 1920. At the time of his death, aged 69, he still was blacksmithing in the village of Linwood, NY. Reid was a member of Caledonia's Eunice Lodge of the Free & Accepted Masons.

Title A name given to the resource Wm. Hamilton, Produce Dealer, Office & Elevator Description An account of the resource Number 12 on the Burleigh Map, the location of Hamilton's office alongside the New York Central Railroad suggests the importance of his operation to Caledonia's economy. In addition to his farming interests Hamilton (1832-1912) was a produce dealer, bean processor, and "maltster"--that is, he roasted corn and barley for use in brewing or distilling. Presumably because other farmers relied upon his services, his firm often was consulted for market prices, as shown in this newspaper image. An 1881 profile of him praised this son of a Scottish immigrant for his "most hearty support to all efforts and measures tending to the advancement of the agricultural interests of Western New York." Beginning in 1858 Hamilton, along with D.E. Cameron and James McNab, organized a county agricultural fair until it was suspended due to the Civil War. He later purchased the Smith flouring mill in Honeoye Falls, charted a bank, helped found the Livingston County Historical Society, and served in numerous political offices--including as Presidential elector for Grover Cleveland. His firm "Wm. Hamilton and Son" continues operations today at the same location.
