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.

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.

Description An account of the resource Number 13 on the Burleigh map, the Cottage Hotel was managed by the peripatetic Charles D. ("C.D.") McKay, who previously had run the Globe Hotel in Geneseo, then the Cascade House at Portage, NY, and later went on to manage the McKay House in Perry, NY. The reasons for his changes of venue probably had to do with the violation of local excise laws--ostensibly licenses for and taxes upon liquor, but in practice efforts to curb its consumption. Before coming to Caledonia McKay had been prosecuted by Geneseo in 1888, and later by Perry in 1896. Cottage Hotel seems to have relied, in part, upon its proximity to railroad depots located nearby. In 1894 Charles' cousin H. Ross McKay, a local farmer, purchased the property--as announced in this news clipping. Charles died in 1911.

Title A name given to the resource McKay Bros' Grist Mill Description An account of the resource Number 14 on the Burleigh map, mill site is one of the older landmarks in Caledonia. It was built in 1801 by Col. Charles Williamson, who was agent for Lord William Pultney concerning a massive tract of land--sold to Scottish immigrants on favorable terms. Williamson sold the mill to John McKay ca. 1803, and it passed along to his son John Jr. and then to grandsons who installed modern rolling equipment in 1886. As of 1892, its capacity was some 48 barrels of wheat flour per day, along with many tons of animal feed. These two advertisements date to a period when brand names of flour blends had long since become important to the milling industry.

Miller, Agricultural Implement Manufacturer Description An account of the resource Number 18 on the Burleigh map, for a period this Caledonia firm was nationally known for its patented equipment--especially bean harvesters. Factory was founded by the McColl Brothers in 1868, until purchased in 1880 by Alexander and his son F[red] W. When Alexander died, F.W. Miller continued growing the business thanks to innovative designs. An admiring profile in 1895 wrote that “Mr. Miller has alone and single handed worked up a large and extensive business in the manufacture of implements of all kinds, and it has grown beyond the control of one man. The firm will probably build new works in course of the coming year providing a suitable location can be secured in a more convenient proximity to the railroad depots” (Caledonia Advertiser 1 Dec 1895). This was to prove fateful, as Miller in seeking growth moved to Leroy, NY and sold patents to the Leroy Plow Company; he lost a legal dispute over their ownership in 1904. These advertisements illustrate some of F.W. Miller's products.

Title A name given to the resource Caledonia 1892 Description An account of the resource This collection of images is based upon <a href="https://openvalley.org/files/original/3ae1204165be3bf753a4d31e568da22a.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an 1892 birds-eye panorama of Caledonia, NY</a> published by Burleigh Litho of Troy, NY. 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. It lists railroad stations, churches, the public school, and even Seth Green’s fish hatchery, but a majority of the numbered locations are commercial enterprises—a likely base of customers for purchasing copies of the completed work. Using old newspapers and trade magazines, this collection has gathered advertising from most of the businesses. Its purpose is to populate an interactive map for the “Heraldry” section of the “Clans of Caledonia” exhibit, where we see immigrant affiliations interacting with national and commercial icons—a complex process of so-called “Americanization.” Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Cooper, Ken Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Thanks to Tom Tryniski, Fulton History Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Hugh Campbell, Harness and Sadlery Description An account of the resource Number 19 on the Burleigh map, this firm dated back to Scottish immigrant Colin Campbell, who founded it in 1843 and later took on his nephew Hugh (1855-1920) as a partner. Their quality of work on saddles, harnesses, and collars was known throughout Western New York. In 1891, the sudden death of Colin passed along ownership to his nephew--perhaps the occasion for this advertisement printed during the same year.

Title A name given to the resource R.W. Matteson, Post Office & Stationery Description An account of the resource Number 20 on the Burleigh map, this seal of the Post Office Department is shown because Matteson's business probably was dependent upon his position as postmaster for Caledonia. In 1889 he first was appointed by President Benjamin Harrison, then renewed for the second Presidency of Grover Cleveland, through 1897. In 1900 Matteson suffered a tragic early death, at age 45, while working as overseer at a quarry in Leroy, NY. A coupling in a mining car broke, sending it back down the track and crushing the unsuspecting man. He was remembered as "a man highly esteemed" in Caledonia.

Title A name given to the resource McDonald Bros., Bankers Description An account of the resource Number 22 on the Burleigh map, this location housed a bank chartered by David A. and Simon W. McDonald, the latter also running an insurance business in the same building. David was primarily a miller, who during the 1880s ran the Genesee County Flour Mills in Batavia, NY. Simon, who for a time had worked at Page's Mill in Mumford, NY, concentrated primarily upon banking. Sometime around 1900, McDonald Bros. Bank became First National Band with an expanded board of directors.
