Joseph Blackwell's iron foundry and Thomas Duggan's tannery stand at Broadway and Canal
By 1794 a few manufacturing businesses had gathered near the junction of Broadway and Canal Street. A foundry and sales shop for cast iron, run by Joseph Blackwell, the wealthy merchant who owned Blackwell's Island, occupied the northwest corner, where 419 Broadway now stands. Thomas Duggan, who owned a number of lots on what was then called Duggan Street, ran a tannery close to the foundry.
“On the northwest corner of the intersection stood the cast-iron foundry and sales shop of Joseph Blackwell, wealthy merchant and owner of Blackwell's Island.”
