Hatters of Great Barrington

From History of Great Barrington, (Berkshire County), Massachusetts. by Charles J. Taylor, Clark W. Bryan & Co., Publishers, 1882, Great Barrington, Mass., pp. 358-359.

The hatters of the last century were Joseph and Elias Gilbert, and Major Thomas Ingersoll. About the year 1801, came Timothy Arnold, with his brothers Fenner and Elisha. They bought the Misses Kellogg place, and Timothy established himself as a hatter. His shop was in the building (previously occupied by "Wise" Isaac Van Deusen) which stood in Mrs. McLean's door-yard. The Arnolds afterwards built the McLean house. Timothy Arnold, and his shop, is still well re- membered, as w^ell as the long row of hat bodies put out to dry on sunny mornings, occupying every fourth picket of the fence in front of his premises. Arnold was a bachelor, with a taste for the comical, which was shared by his apprentices, and his shop was the headquarters for fun and frolic, the rendezvous of the wags and fox hunters of the town. The shop itself, a long, low building — in the improvements of the premises, made by David Ives, forty years ago — was removed to Castle street, and converted into a dwelling — long occupied by the Moore famity — but has since given place to a more tasteful structure.
