Text Any textual data included in the document STANLEY: I coming here in the 1950’s, have watched Geneseo change, from being located on Main St. to Walmart and so on. So there is a spread of businesses now. KATHERINE: Were people happy with those changes? Was the sentiment generally accepting, or did people resist those changes? STANLEY: I don’t think people resisted it, I can’t think of any. Whether Walmart caused certain business to go under, I don’t know. I have a hunch, but I just can’t tell you. The college has moved. When I first came, there was parking up rather close to the buildings in the back, away from the middle square. Gosh, I think when I first had come one could park in almost every bit that now is lawn. And of course, the building of the gym and the putting in of an indoor pool for swimming, all those are changes that have been rather important for the college.

Title A name given to the resource September Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource jpeg, 702 KB jpeg, 9.1 MB Description An account of the resource Golden light from low in the sky, at right, evokes a moment of gratitude for a year’s harvest—seemingly of corn shocks drying in the field. A person carrying a stick pause in front of one. Lush fields, green trees, and a gorgeous sky are shown to their best effect. The scene might pass for one of indigenous culture were it not for the rooflines of two houses in the distance, but the intent seems analogous.

Title A name given to the resource The Spring Tree Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource jpeg, 976 KB jpeg, 13.8 MB Description An account of the resource Vivid colors are accentuated via the time of day at which this painting is set—either at sunrise or sunset—and by comparison to a pale blue sky. The titular “spring tree” probably is a cherry in bloom, but a taller one also seems to display blossoms. Sabalsuskas’ unusual portrait orientation emphasizes not only the trees’ verticality, but a pastoral scene in the foreground of grazing cattle. Several brushstrokes appear to take pleasure in color for its own sake. About the Artist: We haven’t located any reliable information about this artist. Please contact us if you're able to help.

Title A name given to the resource April Day #1 Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource jpeg, 826 KB Description An account of the resource From just the other side of a split rail fence, we look downhill to a pasture and then patchwork of fields in the valley below. A stream cuts across diagonally and passes under a covered bridge; a horse and foal stand in the foreground, with sheep resting behind them. It’s a peaceful moment at dawn, a few pink clouds hovering nearby. Sabalauskas’ steep ramp of solarized colors ranges from golden pastures nearby to violet mountains in the distance. Note: this digital image is from a photograph taken during the 1990s; the painting has disappeared from the New Deal Gallery.

Title A name given to the resource Summer Breeze Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource jpeg, 2.7 MB jpeg, 1 MB Description An account of the resource Summer Breeze depicts a rural landscape arranged across a shallow but continuous picture plane. In the foreground, a pale dirt path curves from the lower right corner toward the center of the composition, cutting through an open field of grass. The ground is painted with loose, visible brushstrokes in light greens, yellows, and earth tones, creating an uneven surface. Small patches of vegetation and low shrubs appear scattered across the field. Slightly left of center, a small cow stands near a cluster of bushes. Several tall, slender trees rise vertically in the middle ground, their trunks thin and their foliage rendered with small touches of green and yellow. Behind the trees, a group of small farm buildings occupies the middle ground. Additional buildings extend toward the right, partially covered by trees and greenery. These structures appear smaller in scale than the trees and the field. The sky fills the upper portion of the composition and is painted in pale blue and gray tones with horizontal bands of soft clouds, accented with light pink and yellow highlights. The composition is asymmetrical, organized by the curving diagonal of the path and the vertical emphasis of the trees. Cool greens and blues fill the field and sky, while warm tones in the buildings create contrast and a focal area. Depth is suggested through overlapping forms, shifts in scale, and softer detail in the distance. About the Artist Joseph Sabalauskas (1896? –1970) was a Lithuanian-born American artist active in New York during the early to mid-twentieth century. Born in Lithuania, he immigrated to the United States and arrived in New York in 1927. By 1931, records show him living in Manhattan and working professionally as an artist. He served as a private in the United States Army during World War I before establishing his life and career in New York. Although little is known about his training or exhibitions, Sabalauskas’ artistic activity is confirmed through works in the U.S. General Services Administration Fine Arts Collection, where three pieces are attributed to him. These holdings suggest he may have been connected to federal art initiatives that supported artists during the Depression era. Later in life, he resided in Kings Park, Suffolk County, New York. Sabalauskas died in August 1970 and was buried at Long Island National Cemetery, leaving limited but documented evidence of his career as a New York–based immigrant artist.

Title A name given to the resource Open Road Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource jpeg, 1.1 MB jpeg, 13.3 MB Description An account of the resource This painting uses a curious system of perspective. Objects in the distance—like mountains, birds, a tall tree, or the sky above—appear more figurative and natural than those nearby. Closer by, where we might expect to see detail, are abstract streaks and blotches of color. In the near foreground, a walking traveler and companion dog are rendered as semi-transparent in relation to their surroundings. They are walking toward the crest of a hill, perhaps toward the suggestion of a red roof but more accurately into a circular portal.

Description An account of the resource This collection gathers documents for a Perry Knitting Co. exhibit on OpenValley. They are drawn from from three main sources. First, the Clark Rice Photography Collection at the Perry, NY Public Library. Rice was a prolific photographer in Western New York throughout the mid-20th century. This collection includes scans of his work, and copies of images from the turn of the century photographer Merrium Crocker, whose studio Rice purchased. Secondly, the Henry Page Local History Files. Page was president of First National Bank of Perry, and a local historian associated with the public library for nearly five decades. His uncle, William, had helped secure funding from the Carnegie Corporation for its establishment in 1900 and construction in 1914. The Page collection contains various historical materials and photographs accumulated by him over the years. Thirdly, we draw upon various public domain texts, such as maps from the Library of Congress or <a href="http://perrypubliclibrary.advantage-preservation.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">digitized articles from local newspapers</a>. All images here are selections from these collections, chosen for their relevance to OpenValley project.

Title A name given to the resource Fire Insurance Map of Perry Knitting Co., 1913 Description An account of the resource Sanborn Map Company created extremely detailed renderings (1:600 scale) for the purposes of fire insurance underwriters. Important details like building use, construction materials, water supplies, power plant, sprinkler systems, and more enabled accurate assessment of fire risk. They remain valuable tools for historical research because they were updated frequently. For the PKC, we have maps from the years <a href="https://openvalley.org/items/show/1680" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1884</a>, <a href="https://openvalley.org/items/show/1683" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1894</a>, <a href="https://openvalley.org/items/show/1684" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1900</a>, and <a href="https://openvalley.org/items/show/1682" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1906</a>. Taken together, they document a period of growth for the company. In this cropped image, the last one available from the Library of Congress, several wood-frame buildings have been demolished and what becomes known as Mill #5 has been constructed. A large picker house has been attached to Mill #3. By this point Mills #1-2, the oldest buildings, seem to have been consigned to a machine shop and storage--with the exception of the Cutting Room. This map is also of interest for its hints of daily social life for its employees. There's mention of a restaurant on the Office's second floor. Near the top of the map, at the corner of Hope and Stanton Streets, we see a "Polish Club" and dance hall next to each other--presumably for the mill's hundreds of Polish-American employees.

Description An account of the resource This collection gathers documents for a Perry Knitting Co. exhibit on OpenValley. They are drawn from from three main sources. First, the Clark Rice Photography Collection at the Perry, NY Public Library. Rice was a prolific photographer in Western New York throughout the mid-20th century. This collection includes scans of his work, and copies of images from the turn of the century photographer Merrium Crocker, whose studio Rice purchased. Secondly, the Henry Page Local History Files. Page was president of First National Bank of Perry, and a local historian associated with the public library for nearly five decades. His uncle, William, had helped secure funding from the Carnegie Corporation for its establishment in 1900 and construction in 1914. The Page collection contains various historical materials and photographs accumulated by him over the years. Thirdly, we draw upon various public domain texts, such as maps from the Library of Congress or <a href="http://perrypubliclibrary.advantage-preservation.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">digitized articles from local newspapers</a>. All images here are selections from these collections, chosen for their relevance to OpenValley project.

Title A name given to the resource Fire Insurance Map of Perry Knitting Co., 1884 Description An account of the resource Sanborn Map Company created extremely detailed renderings (1:600 scale) for the purposes of fire insurance underwriters. Important details like building use, construction materials, water supplies, power plant, sprinkler systems, and more enabled accurate assessment of fire risk. They remain valuable tools for historical research because they were updated frequently. For the PKC, we also have maps from the years <a href="https://openvalley.org/items/show/1683" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1894</a>, <a href="https://openvalley.org/items/show/1684" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1900</a>, <a href="https://openvalley.org/items/show/1682" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1906</a>, and <a href="https://openvalley.org/items/show/1679">1913</a>. Taken together, they document a period of growth for the company. In this cropped image, we see the mill shortly after its opening on 24 July 1883. From a dam, the plant draws water to create steam heat and mechanical power generated by coal; light gasoline also is used and there is a gasoline well next to the building. In the six-floor structure work is allocated like this: <ol> <li>Wash room for cotton</li> <li>Store room</li> <li>Seam & finish room</li> <li>Carding & packing room</li> <li>Spinning & knitting room</li> <li>Drying room</li> </ol> Just downstream from PKC is a mill race for the water-powered Cataract Custom Mill.

Taken together, they document a period of growth for the company. In this cropped image, we see continued indications that PKC is growing into a much larger firm and requiring additional storage space to stockpile fuel, supplies, and finished products prior to shipment. Mill #3 has been completed, but already a yarn mill expansion is under construction. What comes to be known as Mill #4 is constructed of brick (perhaps due to insurance considerations) and is making paper boxes. Now we're up to six "fly-over" passageways connecting the manufacturing site.
