Fowler, Drugs & Medicines Description An account of the resource Number 40 on the Burleigh map of Caledonia, drugstore relocated here in 1890 from Lima but shortly thereafter was destroyed in the Caledonia fire of 6 February 1891. The first image shows an advertisement for Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, the sort of patent medicine typically advertised by Fowler during the early days of his firm and a major driver of early advertising in America. After the 1891 fire, Fowler's rebuilt business evolved into a business also carrying books, stationery, and--as can be seen in the second image--goods for the home. Archibald K. Fowler (1852-1914) was active in Caledonia civic life, helping to found the Eunice Lodge #830 of Free and Accepted Masons in 1899 (he was its first chairman), and eventually serving as Caledonia's postmaster beginning in 1905 until his death in 1914.

Title A name given to the resource Buffalo, Rochester, and Pittsburgh Railway station, Mumford Description An account of the resource Number 6 on the Burleigh map, the BR &P was one of four rail lines passing through the area and like the Lehigh Valley RR constructed primarily for the shipment of Pennsylvania coal--in this case, the major markets being industrial Rochester and Buffalo. Smaller towns recognized, however, the importance of railroad access and scrambled to join an 1869 venture proposed by Mumford's Oliver Allen. That railroad--the Rochester and State Line--and a subsequent incarnation eventually were incorporated into the BR&P. Despite its much smaller size than the New York Central or Erie railroads, the BR&P survived because it was a well-run operation which, in addition to its commercial business provided transportation for many smaller towns. During the hot days of summer its excursion trains to Lake Ontario were popular; this typical announcement also mentions a Temperance Assembly held at Silver Lake. In 1892 the Mumford terminal would have been a wooden structure in the gothic style; it was rebuilt in 1912 and still stands alongside active tracks as an herb and flower nursery.

Description An account of the resource Number 37 on the Burleigh map, Caledonia House had been a travelers' hotel for more than sixty years by the time of this panoramic view. It was built in 1830 by James Shaw, a mason who gave the structure two-foot-thick walls and hefty beams (not to mention Masonic motifs above the upper-floor windows). For years the "Stone Hotel" was an important stop along the stage-coach roads passing through Caledonia. After Shaw, subsequent managers had included his son John, Jared Moss, Algeroy Smith, Theodore Wilkinson, P.P. Foote, Robert Woollett, George Outterson, John F. Lawton, D.W. Hartney, D.C. Walker, and John A. Keyes. In 1908 the building began its new use as the Eunice Lodge, 830, of the Free & Accepted Masons--which continues to this day. Robert Woollett appears to have been owner of Caledonia House between 1888 (purchased after the death of Prosper Philander Foote) and 1893, when he sold out to George Outterson due to his wife's illness. These two images show advertisements for Woollett's livery business at Caledonia House prior to his purchase of the property, and then his leap into the melee of selling spirits in Caledonia--an important source of revenue for the hotel. In the following years a cat-and-mouse game transpired between Woollett and temperance advocates, with sudden appearances of excise agents brandishing subpoenas. At the time Woollett sold his hotel, the Caledonia "Advertiser" smirked that he "did well in a financial sense" (23 Feb. 1893). By 1903, the Caledonia "Era" would be fuming that “The conduct of the hotel lately has been enough to bring a blush to the cheek of a brass monkey and it is to be hoped it will never be re-opened again until it can be conducted decently” (16 Dec. 1903). It simply wasn't possible to make money on the property as travelers' rest, anymore, and it became a Masonic Temple.

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.

This structure near the New York Central Railroad terminal was supplanted by the construction of Burgess hall in 1892.

Title A name given to the resource Caledonia School No. 5 Description An account of the resource Number 5 on the Burleigh map, records for this school prior to 1892 are missing due to a major fire on Main Street that year. The structure shown by Burleigh received a west wing in 1896 and a north wing in 1904. In 1914, a new brick structure replaced the original school. As of 1892, education in New York State was on the verge of transformation. Union Free School Districts, enabled by an 1853 law, created free schooling through the power of local taxation under the supervision of an elected school board. Union schools grew in number thereafter, eventually supplanting private academies. There were however tensions between local boards and the University of the State of New York over standards; in 1894, the Consolidated School Law gave to its Board of Regents the power of visitation and control. School No. 5 became a part of this system in 1895 (not without some local resistance), and then was reorganized as Caledonia's high school in 1898. The principle of free schools necessitated annual reports to the public--here for the school year ending June 1896. We see salaries paid to teachers, a clerk and a janitor; charges for books, school supplies, coal for heating, and pricey "apparatus" from Bausch & Lomb--optical instruments, presumably. High school continued here until 1939, when the new Caledonia-Mumford campus opened on North Road and eventually the old building became home to the Big Springs Historical Society and Museum.

Bundy, Tonsorial Artist Description An account of the resource Number 44 on the Burleigh map, in plain language this was a barber shop that had been operating since 1885. Prior to that, Bundy had worked in the shop of his brother Thomas while attending school. By the time of the map's publication, Charles was about to be married to Delilah Sellers, the woman with whom he would have two sons: James Samuel and Benjamin Franklin. Charles P. Bundy (1861-1896) probably followed his brother from Virginia to Caledonia for economic opportunity. Thomas, impressed into military service by the Confederacy, was captured by Union forces and then served Lieutenant-Colonel Francis E. Pierce of the 108th New York Volunteer Infantry. Thomas followed the regiment to Western New York and eventually made a life as a barber before his tragic death in 1885, after which Charles ran his own shop. Bundy was active in other business endeavors--a grocery partnership with George Davis (who was married to his sister), and this advertisement for fresh oysters (presumably arranged via his contacts in Maryland and Virginia). Sadly, just a week later Bundy had died from longstanding health problems that had severely limited his activities.
