Home of the Ulster White Lead Company, formerly of Saugerties.
I will guess that this location was not under Robert Livington's water rights and therefore less expensive to operate. This location is at the the incorporation lines of Kingston and Saugerties.

At the time, the industry required water power to drive locally quarried millstones as ESOPUS STONES composed of Shawangunk Grit (a quartz) quarried near ACCORD NY.

The process involved exposing lead 'buckles' (they were imported and probably not mined locally due to the poor quality) to vinegar contained in a clay jar. Lead oxide formed on the outside and was manually scraped off (though one patent claimed an automated process).
The lead oxide was then ground into in very fine powder, mixed with a binder and assorted pigments to make LEAD PAINT for a growing market.

For one brief, bizarre moment I thought this was a photo I took... mine is very similar compositionally, but it was taken 60 years later on a digital camera in an entirely different part of the world
