Ferguson Steel & Iron
Buffalo NY
Most recent update: August 31, 1921.
Ferguson Steel & Iron Company was founded by James E. Ferguson in 1913: its plant was on Bailey Avenue, at Stanley Street, a huge facility now occupied by K & E Fabrication. It grew significantly during WWI, partly by adding a shipyard on the Buffalo River. See the site from the air on Google here. The address was 550 Abbott Road, but this is now South Park Avenue: the shipyard was the stretch on the north side of the street, east of the South Park Avenue bridge and west of the ruined railroad. Ferguson's life as a shipbuilder was short: it built six tugs for the Navy and 16 canal barges for the Inland Waterways Corporation and closed.
