shot tower historic landmark 9#Built in 1856 for making lead shots, the tower is 120’ tall. lead was melted at the base of the tower, hoisted to the top, poured through screens of different gauges, tumbling smooth & round as it fell into the water vats below. The shots were then sorted and packed. When completed, the tower could produce between 6 to 8 tons of lead shots daily, but it was rarely operated at full capacity due to being bought by competitor Chadburne and Forster in 1862. A lumber company purchased the shot Tower in 1881 and used it as a watch tower until it was gutted by fire in 1911. in 2010 the shot Tower underwent a $600,000 rehabilitation project.

fenelon place elevator 4#Banker, Mr. J. K. Graves, lived on top of the bluffs and worked at the bottom. unfortunately, he had to spend half an hour driving his horse and buggy around the bluff to get to the top and another half an hour to return downtown, even though his bank was only two and a half blocks away. He decided that a cable car would solve his problem. Mr. Graves’ cable car operated for the first time on July 25, 1882. Before long, his neighbors began meeting him at the elevator asking for rides. eventually these neighbors came together and formed the Fenelon Place elevator Company to continue the operation of the elevator.
