Stone Building of the Finch Pruyn Company in Glens Falls, NY

Right on the Hudson River in Glens Falls, New York there is a ancient looking stone building. It has the name Finch Pruyn Company on the side. The original structure here was built by Abraham Wing in 1765 an operated as a tavern Inn and store. At this site The Glensfalls Company built a sawmill, grist mill, lime kiln and black marble quarry here. Pruyn and the Finchs bought the company and still run the business today. There is a feeder canal that bypasses the dam for shipping and also feeds into these businesses supplying water and allowing boat traffic to go around at least in the past.
