Industrial Hastings
The waterfront was the economic and industrial heart of the village from the 1830s to the 1970s. The English watercolorist George Harvey—who owned a marble quarry in Hastings and assisted Washington Irving in designing his home, Sunnyside—painted the quarry dock (inset) in the 1830s. An aerial photograph taken of the same area 130 years later shows the waterfront at its peak, with companies that included Anaconda Wire and Cable Co. and Zinsser Chemical.
La rivera del río era el corazón de la industria y economía del pueblo desde la década de 1830 hasta la década de 1970. El acuarelista inglś George Harvye—quien poseía une antera de mármol y asistió a Washington Irving con el diseño de su casa, Sunnyside—pintó el muelle de la cantera (recuado) en la década de 1830. Una fotografía aérea de la misma área tomada ciento treinta años más tarde muestra el muelle en su más alto apogeo, con compañías que incluían Anaconda Wire and Cable Co. y Zinsser Chemical.
