Lyndon Lyon Community
Award Winners
Nadine Johnson &
Richard L. Krick
One of this year's co-winners of the Lyndon
Lyon Community Award is Nadine Johnson.
She was raised in Dolgeville by her parents,
Bea & Arnie Paatz and graduated from Dolgeville Central School in the Class of 1968.
Nadine is married to Alan Johnson and has
four children, 11 grandchildren and four
great granddaughters.
Most everyone knows Nadine from Motor's
In, a well-known landmark in the Village of
Dolgeville, famous for its homemade pies.
Let's not forget the awesome and unique
birthday celebrations at Motor's, where you
are greeted or surprised on that special day
with a whipped cream pie in the face! Or
maybe a politician on the campaign trail,
stops in to pick up a few votes, only to be
slammed with one of Nadine's famous pies!
Oh, the memories! Nadine has been owner
and operator of Motor's In for the last 35
years. That means getting up at 2 AM to get
to the restaurant to start making the daily
specials and those delicious homemade pies.
Her restaurant is a true testimony to her

Nadine buys locally even for her restaurant to
help support those other community businesses.
While her children were in high school at
Oppenheim Ephratah Central School, Nadine
coached soccer and volleyball for the modified
girls' team. Her accolades don't stop there, as
she has been a volunteer forewoman with the
Oppenheim Volunteer Fire Department for 22
years and was selected as Firefighter of the
Year in 1995, 1998 and 2005; in 1998 and
2005 she was named EMS Provider of the Year.
In 2005, Nadine Johnson was selected to be
Fulton County Woman of the Year by the
Women of Vision group for her dedication to
the community with her volunteer work. Children have a special place in Nadine's heart
and for many years she has had raffles
throughout the year to help support the local
Dolgeville Christmas For Children Program.
Above and beyond all that has been listed, are
the many acts of kindness that this special
woman bestows on people that most do not
even know about, including checking on elderly customers, feeding those that are in need,
donating to many local organizations and individuals, and just caring about the people and
our community. Our community and surrounding area is a better place, thanks to Nadine Johnson!

THE GREAT CHAPTERS OF ALFRED DOLGE
CHAPTER 3
EDUCATION AND
RECREATION
IN 1889
SCENE 1 - Pre-parade
[moving north from the Cottage
Inn to the bridge.]
Please imagine, if you will, a
day in June of 1889 when the
Village of Dolgeville was first
recognized as a village, after
having unanimously petitioned
by the citizens in 1879, but will
not be incorporated until 1889.
When Dolge first arrived the settlement was called Brockett's
Bridge with a population that
had grown from 300 in 1874, to
approximately 2000 at this
time. On that actual day there
was a parade and dedication
held here to recognize the new
village and to celebrate that
held the Turnverein Festival.
Dolge first arrived in Brockett's Bridge as a twenty five year

old man on April 11, 1874 when, at the suggestion of the General John P. Spofford, who
owned a farm in this community. Dolge explored the area from New York City to purchase lumber for his felt manufacturing and
piano parts business. It is clear that on that
first visit Dolge experienced the sensation of
once again being in his birth place Saxony,
Germany. With the availability of old tannery
buildings located by the East Canada Creek,
he had found a wonderful place to further his
felt-making and piano parts business and, as
he was once quoted, to develop this beautiful
spot. Within ten days from his first visit,
Dolge had purchased the tannery site and
business began with the goal of not only providing superior products but, as it soon became known, to provide opportunity to improve the condition of the working man.
Dolge and his wife, Anna, with their five
year old son Rudolf, moved to Brockett's
Bridge shortly after his business operations
began to become productive. The first Dolge
home was located on Elm Street in the same
building where the present day Dolgeville
Christian Fellowship is situated.
The production begins with Alfred Dolge on
June 1889 after having completed a business

planning to move their manufacturing operations to Dolgeville. They are just leaving the
Cottage Hotel, which was built in 1885.
SCENE 2 - The School Board Meeting
[to be held in the Christian Fellowship at 3
Elm St.]
The next part of our production regarding
Alfred Dolge focuses on the school board
meeting which, from all historical accounts,
it is reasonably concluded did occur. The
Dolgeville School Board meeting with members, Rockwell, Webb, Spofford, Brockett,
Gifford, Maxwell The School Society members, Wheeler Knapp, Dr. AG Barney, Howard
Spencer, Henry Faville, Frank Faville, Peter
Dunkel, Theodore Sanford, and Alfred Dolge
at the time of the dedication of the union free
school, erected in 1887.
The School Society was initiated by the
members of the Turnverein for the sole purpose of agitating the improvement the village
school. (The Turnverein is an association for
the furtherance of physical and mental exercises, took the matter in hand and discussed
at the meetings the necessity of a new school
house, as well as the desirability of a higher

grade in school. previously the children only
went to 6th grade.) The Turnverein was a society composed mostly of German -born citizens, who could not work alone effectively on
such an important objective. In hopes of getting the American-born citizens interested in
the worthy movement, August 3, 1886 the
school society was organized. Dolge realized
that the school would never be built without
the resident's support.
SCENE 3 - The Turnverein Festival
[to be held in the Christian Fellowship at 3
Elm St.]
The last part of our production regarding
Alfred Dolge focuses on a type of competition
which, from all historical accounts, did occur
in Dolgeville. The Turnverein Hall which is located on Faville Ave where the present day
Bergeron Companies is located. The first and
second floor were originally one large gymnasium, the third and fourth floor were originally used for a theatre but was divided into
floors when the building was converted into
manufacturing. For many years it was known
as Daniel Green's factory number 3. The history of the Turnverein organization began not
in this country but in the history of Germany.

August Christian Dolge known to all as Papa
Dolge encouraged Alfred to recreate the organization for the health and fitness of his employees.
In the early 1800s in Germany, "Friends of
Turnen," created new clubs engaged in nongymnastic activities, such as funding libraries
and reading rooms, and sponsoring lectures,
often of a politically liberal nature. The members joined the
new
volunteer
firemen's movement, and acted
as a police force
during the outbreaks of social
unrest
which
characterized the
revolutionary period in German.
[during this time
was when Christian August Dolge
had been imprisoned] They even
imparted a new
spirit to their
gymnastic
program by initiating
training sessions
for children. Spread throughout Germany,
this more diverse gymnastic movement staged
larger and more elaborate gymnastic festivals,
which sometimes lasted several days.

History of the Dolgeville News Co.
By: Frederick J. DeLucco; Contributions from
Donna M. DeLucco and Michael A. Lyon
The building located at 4 and 6 South Min
Street was known by several names over the
years: The Barrett Block, the Busy Corner, the
News Store, the News Stand and the Dolgeville News Co.
In 1975, this writer was enrolled in a local history class at DCS. I wrote about the
history of the Dolgeveille News for an assignment. I interviewed a former Mayor of
the Village, William Trumpowksy, who previously owned the business. According to
Mr. Trumpowsky, the building was built on
the site that was once the lawn of Alfred
Dolge's first home in 1908 by William Hayward. He then immediately sold it to the
Barrett Brothers. The News Room was first
opened at 6 South Main in 1908/09 by Miss
Grace Walker. She later sold it to Charles
and Ivan Heller. After some years, they sold
to William H. Rundell. Around 1917, he sold
to Fred J. Youker and Albert Lottermoser;
the business operated under the name of
F.J. Youker & Co. In April of 1924, Mr.
Youker sold his share to William
Trumpowsky, who in partnership with Albert Lottermoser operated the business as
the Dolgeville News Co.
In 1908/09, the Post Office, which had several previous locations, moved into the 4
South Main section of the Barrett Block (on
the Elm Street side of the building), next to
Grace Walker's Stationery & News Room. Later, in 1926 the Post Office moved to the Gennis Block across the street at the corner of
Elm and North Main Street. Then 4 South
Main was occupied by several different businesses [see Directory]. In 1928, one of the
brothers who owned the building, James Barrett, opened a variety store business. The Ben
Franklin Stores company took over in 1940,
with James Barrett as manager. This section
of the building was last occupied by DelVecchio's Shoe Store until 1956.
On October 14, 1046, Lottermoser and
Trumpowksy sold the Dolgeville News Co. to
Patsy Coffey, Sylvan and Fred DeLucco, who
at the same time purchased the building from
the Barrett Bros. According to the Dolgeville
Republican Newspaper of 10/10/1946, this
double transaction constituted one of the
largest business and real estate transfers in
the community in recent years. The business
was operated in the usual format oof a soda
fountain/newsstand, also selling stationery
and tobacco. After several years, around

1955, Mr. Coffey sold his share to Charles
DeLucco, brother of Sylvan and Fred. Lee
DeLucco, sister to the brothers, became an
employee. She introduced the "Hallmark"
greeting card line to the business, beginning
Dolegeville News Store

with only one display rack.
At around 1956-57, the brothers expanded
the store by removing the front center stairway leading to the second floor, and the dividing wall between 4 and 6 South Main. The
wall was a center support, so steel "I" beams
needed to be installed. My Dad told
me how they hired a
man, who worked for
the Dolgeville DPW, to
go to Utica with a long
truck to retrieve the
beams. He said the
beams were then unloaded and carried by
hand to be installed.
The store merchandise line was then expanded to include
Fisher Price toys,
cameras and film,
Timex watches, a full
Hallmark line, boxed
chocolates, and seasonal products. The
magazine section was
expanded to become
the largest in the
area, including the

Dolegeville News Store Circa 1923,
Albert Lottermosen (behind Counter) Wyman Dooley & Nettie Quackenbush Many (Seated)
Valley. The entrance door to the original Dolgeville News side was removed and the entrance on the corner of the building became
the main entrance.
The second and third floors had always
been divided into apartments and offices rented by residents and various businesses [see
Directory]. The third floor was once occupied
by the Ladies Association of Odd Fellows
IOOF and called the Rebekah Hall. That space
was eventually converted to two apartments.
The three brothers continued to operate the
business with Lee, and Fred's daughter, Donna, as employees.Sylvan passed away in December of 1970. Charles and Fred continued
the business with Lee, Donna and I as employees. Bema and Joy, wives of Charles and
Fred, respectively, assisted with operations.
During the 1950's and '60's, the Store had a
radio, then a TV, which would draw several of
the local men to gather around and listen to
and view the New York Yankee baseball
games. In those days, the Store was open until 11:00 PM, opening at 6:00 AM to receive
the morning delivery of newspapers.
Charles and Lee retired in 1986. Donna and
Freddie joined their father in the business
and formed the Dolgeville News Company
Inc., which included Joy and their daughter,
Christine. During 1986, the Store was completely renovated, assisted by the presence of
the Flood of 1986. The exterior brick to the
building was sandblasted and trim was painted in a three-color scheme. The marble and
walnut soda fountain was restored, and the
interior of the building was painted. Period
lighting was returned, and an interior gazebo
with antique ice cream tables and chairs was
created. During this time, the Hallmark line
was updated, gourmet candies and ice cream
added, along with other goods and decorative
items to exemplify the look of days gone by. A
Grand Opening was held on October 14,
1986, 40 years after the DeLuccos originally
bought the building.
During the summer, tourists, returning residents and vacationers loved to come to the
Store and sit on the stools at the old-fashioned counter and reminisce or comment on
the nostalgia of the place. Dad would say how
he witnessed many changes in Dolgeville from
his time operating the Store.
Fred, Donna and Freddie along with local
employees, continued to operate the business
until 1993, when the business and building
were sold.

TONY’S - Polka Band
In the beginning, before ‘Tony’s
Polka Band’ was even a thought, the
Banewicz family would often get together on Sunday afternoons at the
Banewicz family farm. Being the former band leader of ‘Mary’s Polka
Band’ in the 1970’s, Elizabeth “Betty” Banewicz enjoyed pulling out old
scores of music to play along, on her
accordion, with her grandchildren,
who were all beginning to learn instruments in the school band. It
was not long before this music
struck a chord with grandson Tony
Banewicz and motivated him to
start a band of
his own. Thus, in the winter of 1996, ‘Tony’s Polka Band’ was born.
Since then, Tony’s Polka Band has built a repertoire of music more diverse
than any other polka band in the business. With an original blend of music consisting of Eastern, Honky, German, Chicago, and New England style polkas with
the influence of Country, Disco, Pop, Latin, and Rock, Tony’s Polka Band delights audiences of all ages and any culture.
AJE Band
AJE is a local rock band trio. The band members are Alessandro Chilelli (keyboard, vocals),
Joe Vincent (drums), and Eric Slifka (guitar, vocals). Eric and Joe first formed the band Clippix
featuring The Beatles and their original.
Alessandro joined the band in November of 2012 and AJE was formed. AJE
plays a variety of classic rock, alternative rock, and has written numerous originals.

Headin’ Home
About four years ago, Milt, Greg and Gail got together with
their guitars and keyboard to sing praises to the Lord and to enjoy some “pickin’ and grinnin’”. Their music has been
described as Country Christian, Southern Gospel and even “gosgeville Community Band a-billy”. It is a
mixture of old
hymns like
“Amazing Grace”
and “It Is No
Violet
Secret hat God
y’s Poka Band
Can Do” with
their own lively touch, along with favorites like “I Saw The Light”
Band
and “The Long Black Train”. Their own compositions such as
et Idol Contest
Milt’s “Just A Little Talk With Jesus”, Greg’s “On The Cross Of
Calvary” and Gail’s “Near Enough To Hear My Cry” are the highlights though.
Gail, a very accomplished pianist and organist, has written
din’ Home
many songs, and sings them to the praise and glory of God. Milt
sings and plays the lead electric guiar while Greg sings and
Brust Combo
plays the rhythm guitar. Milt and Greg have been playing in
Injection
bands much of their lives. A number of years ago they both gave
their hearts and lives to the Lord Jesus Christ and not they play
and sing as a witness of what the Lord has done in their lives. They say their musical interest
went “from the bars to the Bible”. In face, the name Headin’ Home reflects the band’s assurance that they are headed for Heaven and they would like their music to influence others to
accept Jesus Christ as their Savior so they would be headin’ to Heaven too.

The Bill Brust Band
This ensemble, consisting of long-tim Montgomery
County, NY residents and transplanted Manhattanites, adheres to the old Count Basie credo, “take a
good old tune and swing it.” The diverse musical
backgrounds of the band’s members makes for a
highly combustible musical mix that ensures that
unpredictability will collide with virtuosity to create
a satisfying experience with equal measures of surprise and familiarity.
The Band came together just a few years ago and
haas become a mutually stimulating group of musical adventurers who share the their excitement and
artistry happily with every audience
they meet.

Formed in December, 2001, Soul Injection is comprised of musicians from all

who have toured with
both regional and

1894 and located at 78 Main Street has been
sold. Restoration is underway in an attempt
to bring the building back to its original
beauty and colors. Part of this work will include cleaning and restoring the original
pews and stained glass window which has
glass partially separated from the lead. Work
continues to have the building placed on the
state and national historical registries.
The intent of the new ownership is not to
make money, but to restore the historical integrity of the building. Ideas of how the
building can be used to benefit the community include weddings, receptions, family reunions, art shows, lectures, adult education,
senior center, concerts, recitals, plays, quilt
shows and classes; yoga and massage; dinner dances, mystery dinner theater - the list
and possibilities go on.
Unfortunately, much work needs to be
done before these events can be planned.
Anyone wanting to volunteer to help clean,
paint or do restoration work can volunteer by
calling 315-429-3548 and leaving a message.
The building will be open Friday, Saturday
and Sunday of the Violet Festival. A Jumble
Sale will be held as well as tours of the main
floor. Stop by and see the progress being
made on this beautiful, historical building.

Six Bandstands
A History of Dolgeville's Outdoor Concert Locations
By Michael Anthony Lyon
The outdoor bandstand building phenomenon, a specialized outgrowth of the gazebo
was ignited during the Victorian era in
Britain and America. The gazebo structure
actually traces its origins back to ancient
China and Persia. With the arrival of Alfred
Dolge in 1874 and a music loving German
population following, it would be expected
that an outdoor facility for musical concerts
was built soon afterward. Surprisingly it
took 10 years for a bandstand to be built. By
the time that structure was constructed
there were already many community bands
in existence, so most likely they performed
indoors at the Barney Opera House, Dolge's
Clubhouse or perhaps only as a parade
band. Among the bands to form were the
Citizen's Brass Band, in 1879; Dolgeville Silver Band, Citizen's Band, in 1883; Brass

Band, in 1891; Alfred Dolge Hose Company
No. 1 Band and the Dolgeville Band, in 1904.
The village's first outdoor bandstand, and architecturally
grandest,
was erected in 1884 on
the Alfred Dolge factory
grounds at the corner of
South Main Street and
Ann Street (now Van Buren Street). It was an 8sided elevated wooden
structure, with a 2-level
roof culminating in a
pointed finial. The whole
structure was nicely ornamented to match the
Victorian architecture of
the
adjacent
factory
buildings. Most likely the
bandstand was designed
by William Kuhles, the factory architect. To
enter the bandstand you went through a pair
of iron gates in the limestone wall and as-

cended stairs to the raised platform level.
The gates are now removed, but were located
just north of the Van Buren Street intersection. Additionally, many will remember this
corner had a public drinking fountain, which
was installed in 1904 and surviving into the
early 1990s. For those late summer concerts, electric lighting was installed in 1887.
In the years prior to its razing in 1922, a
bandstand on this corner presented many
problems so it was abandoned for concerts in
favor of the J. B. Fenner (former Dolge) residence bandstand in 1915. Other than the
limestone factory wall, people didn't have a
good place to sit and hear the music unless
they brought a chair and then few places existed to set up comfortably. Also with South
Main and Van Buren streets passing in front
of it on 2 sides, automobile traffic was beginning to become tangled with concert patrons,
presenting crowd control and noise issues.
Built nearly the same time was a 16' x 16'
square wooden structure (in a simplified
Adirondack style) on the hill overlooking the
factory complex (later coined Summerhouse
Hill), behind August Dolge's farm.
The
structure was called the summerhouse, a
name also somewhat interchangeable with

gazebo or pavilion. These garden structure
buildings gained popularity in the 18th century with George Washington and Thomas
Jefferson each having similar structures at
Mount Vernon and Monticello to use. They
used their summer houses to escape the
summer heat of the main house, but in the
case of upstate New York they were mostly
used to enjoy the summer weather. The hillside eventually became known as Schuyler
R. Ingham Park and the house remained un-
til it was relocated in 1930 to the newly created Village Park (re-dedicated the Harold R.
Plowe Memorial Park in 1987) and serve as
the village's only outdoor bandstand. The
structure later gained a small addition to
the back and a large uncovered addition to
the front, but otherwise stood and was used
for summer concerts right up until 1998.
That year our current larger covered bandstand was erected and the former summerhouse razed.
High Falls Park had an outdoor bandstand too. It was a six
sided wooden structure (also in
the simple Adirondack Style)
and sat adjacent to a large 2
story rectangular-shaped dancing pavilion. High Falls Park
was constructed on approximately 50 acres of the 400-acre
Reuben Faville farm purchased
by Alfred Dolge in 1887. At its
height the park included its very
own railroad station, horse
track, stables, baseball diamond, refreshment, ice cream
and beer stands, fishing ponds,
walking trails, seating areas,
• 35 •
swing-sets, hammocks and a hotel/restaurant among other enjoyments. These were in
addition to the main attraction of the high
falls. The park was a major village and regional destination until Schuyler R. Ingham
closed it and sold the land to Louis J. Snell
in 1916. Snell intended to grade the area,
lay out streets and sell building lots for
homes. Eventually a few streets and houses
were constructed in the area, but today the
homes are gone and streets are all but abandoned by the village. The closing of the park
calls attention to the fact that for its entire
life it was on privately held property. It was
extremely unfortunate that the village did
not assume control of the park after the
Dolge financial collapse. Curiously, a 1932
map of the Village of Dolgeville by Louis J.
Snell still denoted High Falls Park, but its
glory days were long over.
In 1895, after two years of construction Alfred and Anna Dolge moved into their 40room mansion on Dolge Avenue, which included a 6-sided outdoor wooden bandstand
in the Eastlake Style among its extensive
grounds and gardens. The grounds also included a red brick stable building, glass covered greenhouse, fruit orchard, carp ponds,
and grape arbor. The arbor was actually
joined to the bandstand. From 1914 thru
the 1930s the mansion grounds were the site
of the village's annual Redpath Chautauqua
tent festival. The bandstand was possibly
used during these week long festivals. It is
unclear when the bandstand was raised, but
it likely occurred sometime shortly after the
mansion property came under the ownership
of the Daniel Green Felt Shoe Company in
1917.
Two short lived bandstands, really uncovered band platforms, were located within the
school house grounds on South Main Street
and at the corner of Elm and Baker Streets.
The first one, costing $100 was erected in
1917 nearly on the site of the original 1856
two-story school house. The school house
building had been moved up to the sidewalk
line in the late 1880s. The bandstand only
served until 1923 when it was razed to make
way for the new Dolgeville High School building which opened in 1924. The band platform at the corner of Elm and Baker was also
just a temporary solution. With all of the
other locations now razed this bandstand
was hastily set up to serve as the concert location until 1930, when the Village Park became the permanent home of our summer
band concerts, as it remains today.

The Bridges of Dolgeville
1805 to the Present
By Michael Anthony Lyon
The first settlers in the present village of
Dolgeville settled on the western bank of the
East Canada Creek in 1894. They arrived
here from the Town of
Salisbury and Faville's falls, cutting
roads to this area
where the present Rt.
29, upper North Main
Street and Spencer
Street are located today.
Before long a
road was laid out
along the present
Main Street from the
intersection of State
Street to the Dolgeville
Mill
area.
Around 1800, settlement began on the
eastern bank of the
East Canada Creek,
near the present East
State Street Bridge.

the creek from each other relied on fording
the creek to get from one side to the other,
but during portions of the winter or any high
water travel between them was nearly impossible. To permit easier all weather travel between the two sides of the creek,
Zachary Green was contracted in 1805 to
erect an open-truss spruce wood bridge.
The community contained about six houses
and a few businesses, and soon came to be
known as Green's Bridge. A year later the
State (Military) Road was constructed
through the community, crossing the East
Canada Creek at Green's bridge, which

caused bridge traffic to greatly increase
and the community to grow around the
bridgeheads.
Zephi Brockett relocated to the community in 1814 from Salisbury and purchased
the inn & tavern, located just east of the
bridge, from Abram Spofford. A US post office was established in the building in 1826,
and Zephi became the postmaster. He or
one of his sons, James and Charles would
serve as postmaster for a combined 51
years. The community soon became known
as Brockett's Bridge, however it was Calvin
Ransom who actually constructed the more

familiar and longer lasting bridge in 1829
for $550. The Calvin and Reuben Ransom
families relocated to this area from Connecticut in the early 1800s. The covered
bridge was an open truss design of elm timbers with a long span which required a midsupport pier of stone in the creek. It was
constructed with a continuous hip roof and
nearly full height board sides, which must
have made the passage through fairly dark.
In 1836, Major D. B. Winton erected a
heavy timber bridge just below the falls,
north of the future Dolge bridge location,
but it was soon washed away by a heavy
spring thaw and never rebuilt. Winton had
settled in the community in 1830 and was
responsible for erecting the Herkimer County Tannery, a fine red brick Georgian style
home (now the Village Hall) and the "Christians" red brick church (later to become the
Methodist Church and today Zipp's Hardware). For a time, the locals took to calling
the community Wintonville in his honor.
Alfred Dolge erected the double-span iron
Pratt truss bridge in 1880, with a wood plank
road deck and sidewalk across the East
Canada Creek below the falls. The bridge
was needed to connect the Dolge factories on

the western bank with the lumberyard located on the eastern bank. The route passed
between the factory buildings and lined up
with the soon to be established Dolge Avenue, creating a more direct route for those
driving or walking to the Fulton County side
of the village. The bridge has always been
privately owned, but through the late 1990s
the community was allowed to use it. The
bridge closed to public use when the Daniel
Green Company ceased local manufacturing
operations in 1999, however the bridge still
stands 134 years after being built.
By 1892, the Calvin Ransom built covered
bridge had stood for 63 years and was in
desperate need of replacement, so the decision was made to erect a new single-span
Pratt-truss bridge of iron with wood plank
decking. It spanned 127 feet from bank to
bank with a width of 20 feet including a 6
foot sidewalk on the south side. The bridge
was completed and opened to travel in February 1893, while the old covered bridge located just south of the new bridge was dismantled. It stood for 40 years, until 1932
when it was removed and replaced with our
present steel Polygonal Warren thru-truss

bridge with concrete decking. This bridge,
as of 2014 has stood for 82 years and in the
fall of 2010 received a complete repainting
and color change. Many in the community
still call it the silver bridge, which was its
original paint color and for many years it
was painted green, but in the most recent
painting it is now a rust-brown color to be
compatible with the color of bridges in the
nearby Adirondack Park.
Another waterway winding through the village is Beaver Brook which has six small
bridges spanning it at Van Buren Street,
Howard Street Ext., South Main Street, Slawson Street, South Helmer Avenue and Cline
Street. The original wooden bridges were replaced with iron bridges on South Main
Street in 1892; Van Buren Street in 1894 and
Slawson Street in 1896, but it is unclear
when each of these wooden bridges were
built. Presumably the South Main Street
Bridge existed for years before its replacement since this was a major roadway into the
community. The replacement of the Van Buren Street Bridge coincided with a general
grading and widening of the street to High
Falls Park. Alfred Dolge even paid to install

a 6 foot wide board sidewalk along the west
side for the entire length of the street. The
current South Helmer Avenue Bridge is dated
1914 and the Cline Street bridge is probably
of a similar vintage. In recent years the
bridges at Van Buren Street and Howard
Street Ext. have been replaced or renovated.
The need for a bridge connection between
the southern and eastern portions of the village across the lower stretch of East Canada
Creek was evident early in the development of
the village. People wishing or needing to go
to the Academy, Catholic Church, Daniel
Green Felt Shoe Company Factory #1 or the
Brockett Hill Park were all forced to go into
the center of the village and cross at the
Dolge factory bridge. In 1894, a wooden
pedestrian bridge was erected across the
creek from Second Street, Herkimer County
side to Second Street, Fulton County side. It
lasted less than one year when high water
and ice destroyed it in January of 1895. It
was rebuilt that summer, but met a similar
fate a few years later. Even before the first
washout the community recognized the need
for a permanent iron vehicular bridge at this
location, which probably explains the Second
Street alignment and name occurring on both
sides of the creek, but it never materialized.
