Excerpt from Gazetteer and Business Directory of Steuben County, N. Y., For 1868-9 Sylvester Gillett, son of Joseph Gillett, one of the early settlers of Corning, then Painted Post, says his father came to this team in 1779 Or 80, but from other informa tion we think he made a mistake in the year; as to the other items we presume he is all right. Mr. G. Was obliged to go to Tioga Point to mill, a distance of forty miles. His mode of transportation was a canoe, and the time occupied by the trip about three days. He purchased a farm u on the river flats for fivedollars an acre; It is now worth about one hundred. In 1813 e was a soldier in the company of Captain John Kenne dy, and at the sortie opposite Black Rock, on the Canada side of the river, was wound ed. He was removed to' the residence of his father-in-law, 'at Honeoye -hollow. Mr. Gillett owned a mare that he frequently rode to his father iii-law's, and while. There awaiting transportation, that mare broke out of her inclosure and went fifty miles to Honeoye Hollow, and was harnessed with. Another house to carry master to 1118 home upon a feather bed. This was regarded at the time as a very singular circumstance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Over the concluding decades of the twentieth century, the historic preservation community increasingly turned its attention to modern buildings, including bungalows from the 1930s, gas stations and diners from the 1940s, and office buildings and architectural homes from the 1950s. Conservation efforts, however, were often hampered by a lack of technical information about the products used in these structures, and to fill this gap Twentieth-Century Building Materials was developed by the U.S. Department of the Interior’s National Park Service and first published in 1995. Now, this invaluable guide is being reissued—with a new preface by the book’s original editor. With more than 250 illustrations, including a full-color photographic essay, the volume remains an indispensable reference on the history and conservation of modern building materials. Thirty-seven essays written by leading experts offer insights into the history, manufacturing processes, and uses of a wide range of materials, including glass block, aluminum, plywood, linoleum, and gypsum board. Readers will also learn about how these materials perform over time and discover valuable conservation and repair techniques. Bibliographies and sources for further research complete the volume. The book is intended for a wide range of conservation professionals including architects, engineers, conservators, and material scientists engaged in the conservation of modern buildings, as well as scholars in related disciplines.
