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.

The Powers Hotel on the corner of Plymouth and Main was a place of style & prestige, I lived in the Powers Hotel in 1958, it served as housing for first years students of Rochester Institute of Technology, a fellow student by the name of Benware was dismissed for he was found to be the cause of firecrackers tossed in the lobby. The second year, I resided at the "Old Brick Church", economical housing for RIT students. Rochester New York was a magnificent specimen in those days. Felix
