At right we see the Gorsline Building that housed three main manufacturing operations at this time: Williams, Hoyt & Co.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1885 Description An account of the resource Birds-eye view maps were very popular during the last two decades of the 19th century. This high-end version almost certainly owes its existence to the popularity of the Chautauqua Institution, founded in 1874 and pictured in the lower left foreground. The costs of creating and printing such documents presupposed investment by local merchants, buyers willing to purchase them, or both. In this pre-air-conditioned era lake resorts like those on Lake Chautaqua were popular destinations; we see railways and steamboats conveying visitors from many points of origin.

Title A name given to the resource Dover Plains, Dutchess County, New York Description An account of the resource We look down upon the lush valley formed by Ten Mile River. Although there are a few indirect signs of human habitation, the overall effect is pastoral. Forests blend pleasingly with grassy pastures; flocks of sheep and cattle can be seen grazing near plentiful water. In the foreground a group of three has climbed to a promontory. Two seem focused upon navigating shadowy rocks. The other looks out into the distance, illuminated in a ray of sunlight.

Its placid surface and enclosure on all sides organizes the space; through a gap in the trees we behold mountains in the distance.
