Solomon built a saw mill here, as well as a toll bridge at the river at what is now known as Fenimore. Solomon’s grandson, also named Solomon, was a prominent businessman and director of the Glens Falls Paper Mill Company. In 1899, Solomon gave his home in Glens Falls to be used for the first hospital. Today’s Glens Falls Hospital is still located at 100 Park Street – the property donated by Solomon.
