Schuyler Iron and Agricultural Works, Watkins Glen, New York

The Schuyler Iron and Agricultural Works was built in 1873 by Charles Sherwood Frost. The three-story 100' by 60' "nearly fire proof" Italianate brick building, "by far the largest and best which has ever been erected, for the purposes designed, in Schuyler County." The steam engine was the "very best, of great power, and works to a perfect charm." The thrifty Frost used sawdust from a lumber yard, and corn cobs, for fuel.

In a revitalized waterfront, Frost's 19th century edifice welcomes village visitors in the 21st century. Now Seneca Harbor Wine Center, the Frost Building is a recent outreach of Pleasant Valley Wine Company in Hammondsport. Founded even before C.S. Frost enlisted for the Civil War, Pleasant Valley is U.S. Bonded Winery No. 1. Seneca Harbor lies midway between Pleasant Valley's vineyards on the east and west shores of Seneca Lake. Pleasant Valley has long been proud to be a part of life in Hammondsport.
