Sampson the lot on which >the Anchorage now stands and erected a woodworking shop run by water power >near the site of the Harry Maxfield home. The following year he built a >large store and grain mill, and also two large storehouses. It is >interesting to note Mr. Caswell- who was an experienced carpenter- (with >the exception of one man for three days to help frame the store) completed >the entire building alone making the windows, doors and frames in his shop. > >Upon completion he opened a general store in the main building and a grist >mill in the building now occupied by Harry Maxfield's filling station. >This business he carried on for a number of years under the name of Hollis >H, Caswell, later taking in his Son-In-Law Harry Chapman, as a partner >under the firm name of Caswell & Chapman.
