DUTTON, M.A. DARA A. FRIEDBERG, M.S. JANUARY 2017 ABSTRACT ABSTRACT The results of the study revealed that the project area was in the vicinity of the earliest settled area of Rocketts Landing. Historic maps and documents indicate that early development would have been consigned primarily to the western portion of the project area. Gillies Creek flowsd south and east of the project area, and at times possibly within it. The tributary Bloody Run, now filled, bisected the project area. Development had occurred in the western portion of the land by the early nineteenth century in form of dwellings and a tobacco factory. Following the incredible success of the City Gas Works on Cary Street between 15th and 16th streets, the City purchased land in Rocketts Landing for the construction of a new plant. The plant began operations in 1856. The Civil War, multiple floods, and changes in manufactured gas technology necessitated multiple repairs and rebuildings of the Gas Works. Changes between the 1920s and 1950s created the more modern layout of the site. What had become known as Fulton Gas Works continued operations until 1972 from which time it has remained vacant.
