Excerpt from article on WNY Heritage website
"The shoe factory [associated with the failed Gatling Land Boom] was sold
to George Heath of North Evans
who tore it down and used the lumber to make a house for his berry pickers.
Later, he tore that building down and used the lumber again for an addition to
his home."
