Named in the 1903 county history

The history of Belmont County was published 13 years after the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

The Bellaire Nail Works were flooded, and greatly damaged by drift. The Cleveland & Pittsburg Railroad track from Gravel Hill to a point below Indian Run was badly torn up, washed out and twisted. The roundhouse and depot were submerged as were also the cars for freight and passengers. The Bellaire, Zanesville & Cincinnati and Ohio Valley roads were badly damaged, and the Aetna Manufacturing Works flooded to the second story. Many destitute and homeless women and children were quartered in the school houses and in the City Hall.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Belmont County, Ohio, held by the Library of Congress. Sanborn atlases published before 1930 are in the public domain. Only names that at least three of four independent readings agreed on are published, and no spelling has been corrected: what appears here is what the recogniser returned from the ink.
