Established in 1916, Syracuse Furniture Forwarding now stands abandoned and fading with time. The company went through many name changes eventually being affiliated with Allied Vans. It now awaits values to rise upon completion of Destiny USA so the “Inner Harbor” area can redeem itself. (Taken with instagram)

Syracuse, NY - In 1888, two Baldwinsville families started the New Process Raw Hide Co. to produce rawhide boats and canoes using their patented “new process.” Within a year, they laminated rawhide gears for use in electric trolleys. In 1904, the company moved its headquarters to Plum Street in Syracuse and in 1912 was renamed the New Process Gear Co. Over the years, the business shifted to the design of automotive gears from rawhide to brass, steel and cast iron. In 1960 New Process Gear moved to DeWitt and became a division of New Venture Gear where at one time they had a total of 3,400 employees. Over the years, the former New Process Gear Factory buildings in Syracuse were transformed into lofts and small business locations in an area now known as Franklin Square. The tower remains as a reminder of the citys’ industrial past. (Taken with instagram)

The Syracuse Housing Authority has a tentative plan to demolish the vacant three-story Otisca Building at Butternut and McBride streets, long considered a neighborhood hazard. The Otisca Building was originally the Thomas Ryan Brewery, founded in 1865. Ryan was mayor from 1883 to 1885. In 1979, the building was purchased by Otisca Industries, a company that produced fuel made from coal slurry. The site has been vacant since Otisca ceased operations in 1989. Otisca Industries still owns the building and owes more than $572,000 in back taxes, according to property tax records. (Taken with instagram)

The Inner Harbor is a former industrial quarter of Syracuse. It is a reclaimed port connected to the Erie Canal system. Restored and upgraded, the harbor hosts an array of events — concerts, festivals, fireworks, to name a few — and currently is planning to get another major facelift. The New York State Canal Corporation is in the process of selecting a developer to build a mix of housing, commerce, and entertainment around the harbor, in step with the “Sidewalk Community” nickname it was designated.
