Additional Description: Photo Caption from the Marker: Putman's Grocery ca. 1890. Putman's was most profitable in the 1870s, when canal traffic was at its peak. After 1880, canal business, and the grocery, went into a long period of decline. The store closed in 1917, following the opening of the Barge Canal in the Mohawk River. The abandonment of the Enlarged Erie Canal eliminated any need for a store at this location. Photo courtesy of the Fort Hunter Canal Society.
