			The Methodist Church at Caroline and Montgomery Streets was constructed in 1850 and enlarged in 1890. The First Presbyterian Church on Ford Street was constructed in 1819 - the parsonage in 1839. The church was damaged or destroyed by fire in 1858, and the present structure completed in 1866.

		John B. Taillon and Sons was established in 1895. Mr. Taillon was born near Cornwall, Ontario, and came to Ogdensburg in 1870. He entered the employ of the late J.H. Vallee who conducted a dry goods business in one of the stores now occupied by Nathan Franks Sons. In 1876 he left Mr. Vallee to enter the employ of Nathan Frank, with whom he remained until 1893 when he formed partnership with George Algie Brothers. This firm continued until 1909 when Mr. Algie sold his interest to Mr. Taillon and retired. Later, Mr. Taillon admitted his sons to partnership. The Surprise Store opened its doors to the public in 1902 in a small store at 12 Ford St. and gradually expanded into one of the largest retail stores in Northern New York. R.W. Dobisky was general manager.
