Today, Riverside Avenue is home to a mix of buildings: business and medical offices, an auto body shop, condos, a school, and private homes.
Back in the day though, it was a hub of manufacturing. With easy water access for shipping, factories filled the river side.
This one belonged to the Meek Oven Company.

Remnants of some of those buildings remain today.
If only the traffic was the same now, too.
