Hancock after 1839 was a growing community full of businesses that targeted the canal for business and transportation. The materials on the towpath were likely waiting for shipment up or down stream or could have possibly been used for the repair of canal boats that travelled up and down the waterway. The building in the foreground is thought to be a canal company carpentry shop. The building in the center background is the warehouse and store of Philip Thomas Little.
