TEXT | At Port Richmond, on Staten Island, are the next oldest in the vicinity of New York. They were established in 1842, by the present proprietors, who have since greatly enlarged and extended them, until they now occupy about two and a half acres of ground. The main building for manufacturing purposes is one hundred and fifty feet long, forty feet wide, and three stories high. The corroding houses, of which there are two, are frame structures, about one hundred by one hundred and fifty feet each, and of the usual height to accommodate the beds. The machinery is propelled by an engine of eighty-horse power, and the Works have a capacity for producing two thousand tons of perfectly pure White Lead annually. In connection with the Lead Works, Messrs. John Jewett & Sons have a Linseed Oil manufactory, which will be subsequently referred to, and at Elizabeth, New Jersey, an extensive Floor Cloth manufactory, which will be noticed in its proper place. See Manufactures of New Jersey. |
