Title A name given to the resource The Fire Fiend Description An account of the resource Headline from the weekly Caledonia "Advertiser" describes a major fire that destroyed much of the village's commercial district and the Moss House hotel in 1891. <a href="http://fultonhistory.com/Newspaper%2011/Caledonia%20NY%20Advertiser/Caledonia%20NY%20Advertiser%201890-1894%20Grayscale/Caledonia%20NY%20Advertiser%201890-1894%20Grayscale%20-%200054.pdf">The story goes on to enumerate</a> some of what was lost: "The fire cleaned out two groceries, one with a stock of boots and shoes, one hardware and tin shop, a barber shop, pool room, two dressmaking establishments, one dentist, one law office, two drug stores, one saloon, two hotels, a shoeshop, three private dwelling places, two livery barns, one tailor shop, one boarding house, and one jewelry shop. What village of this size in western New York has suffered a like loss? It was all done in three hours’ time." Due to several other suspected cases of arson in the prior year, the newspaper raised that question again and criticized the as-yet unincorporated village's fire department. Within a few short months a charter had been approved, the block had been rebuilt, and the arson attacks continued.

Burleigh's map. The Seneca village of Kanadaseaga at the northern end of Seneca Lake was located near the junction of land and water trade routes; British colonists recognized its strategic value and built a fort here that later was destroyed during the Sullivan campaign in 1779. This map shows a diverse economy with strong emphasis upon manufacturing, an orientation that persisted well into the 20th century. Inset at lower right we see an historical view of the village as envisioned in 1836.

The large number of numbered points in this relatively small town speaks to its civic spirit, an effective Burleigh sales agent, or both. Several lawyers and patent medicine manufacturers are listed as "places"; two railroads not even on the map paid the toll to be listed, as well.

Incorporated in 1814, Perry initially was an agricultural area that increasingly came to be known for its proximity to beautiful scenery: the popular resort area of Silver Lake (pictured at top center), and the Genesee River gorge eventually constituted as Letchworth Park. The availability of water from the Silver Lake outlet enabled a number of mills and other manufactures to be located in the town.

At this time the Soldiers Monument, dedicated in 1900 by then-governor Theodore Roosevelt, would have been seven years old and an important landmark for the village. Also in the frame is the Caledonia House, built 1831-33, which had been a tavern during the era of stage coaches and gradually had fallen into disuse. The next year it was purchased by the Eunice Lodge 830 of Free and Accepted Masons. The document's reverse side gives the name of Chas. S.
