There w^as also in the upper story a ro'w of narrow w^in- dows. The new house was 30 feet wide and 60 feet long. The English built their new^ trading house near the lake, so that they could see w^ho w^as coming over the lake, and near the river, so that the boats could be landed close to it in the cove. Masons, carpenters, and blacksmiths came to build this house. They also repaired and built boats. The blacksmiths made bolts and hinges. They repaired the weapons and tools. When the trading sea...son was over, the traders and builders went back to Albany w^ith their pelts. To protect their new trad- ing house during the winter the English sent a company of sold- iers. When the weather w^as cold, they lived in the stone house but in the spring they set up their tents around about it. Beside the trading house stood a flag pole made from a tall forest tree, and from its top floated the English flag. The English named their trading post Osw^ego. French traders heard about the strong stone house from the Indians.
