Tour of the Mohawk-Industrial
Gateway
The Burden Office Building, while in a state of some disrepair, is still a beautiful structure to look at today. In December 1882, The New York Times described the building as a model of modern corporate headquarters. A beautiful and large skylight gave plenty of light in the structure. Cherry paneling was used in decorating the inside of the building. Some of the cherry paneling on the upper walls is still there today. In addition to the payroom and the operating office space, there were private offices for the two Burden brothers and a large walk in safe. There was even a telegraph office which was used to notify the various dams on the water ways as to the amount of water to be released.
