The Tower Ridge Neighborhood
In the 1870s, Dr. Edward Huyler, a patent medicine manufacturer, built his home on the ridge above the river and added a since-destroyed chiming clock tower with four faces (no two of which were said to give the same time) that became a navigation landmark for river traffic. In the 1880s and 90's, he built two streets. Edmarth, named after himself and his wife, Martha, and Ridgedell. The houses on each are mirror images of the houses opposite them. Before the clock was the Tower Ridge Yacht Club, pictured in the 1890s.
En los a๑os 1870, el Dr. Eduardo Huyler, un fabricante de patentes de medicamentos, construy๓ su casa sobre una loma frente al rํo y a๑adi๓ una torre con un reloj de cuatro caras que repicaba al dar la hora (que seg๚n se dice daban horas diferentes), la misma que se convirti๓ en un punto referencial para el trแfico fluvialEn las d้cadas de 1880 y 1890, Eduardo Huyler construy๓ dos calles: Edmarth, en honor a su esposa y a ้l; y, Ridgedell. Las casas en ambos lados de las calles eran un reflejo de las casas en frente. Debajo del reloj estaba el Club Nแutico Tower Ridge.
