	The Oswegatchie was spanned by two wrought iron bridges manufactured by the King bridge company of Cleveland; the lower crossing the foot of Ford Street and built in 1866 and the upper, connecting Fayette and Spring streets built in 1873.

	The strong stone building standing on the hill above the city waterworks was built by the state in 1858 and used as a storehouse for old muskets and other ordnance previously used by the militia. The property was purchased by the city after the Civil War and used to store plows, shovels and scrapers.

			Northrup's stave factory was build in 1861 by Messrs. D. and S. A. Northup. It consisted of a stave factory and cooper shop combined, and employed about 60 men and boys.

		A village markethouse for Ogdensburg was erected in 1838 on a lot leased from George Parish and bounded by Water, Washington and Catherine Streets. It was 80 by 24 feet containing 11 stalls 12 by 6 feet.

		On May 27, 1824, the name of Euphamia Street was changed to State Street and the name Gertrude Street was changed to Franklin Street. The Ogdensburg steam dye works were established in 1877 by Fred S. McGuire, and did a general line of custom dying.
