Innis Dye Works

The former Innis Dye Works factory is located along North Water Street in Poughkeepsie, New York, United States, on a triangular lot between the street, Fall Kill and the railroad tracks of the Metro-North Hudson Line, just across from the Mid-Hudson Discovery Museum.

There is a wooden hoist at the center of the second story and the main entrance is a double door with vertical planking.

The first record of its existence, in 1838, is founder Aaron Innis's transfer of the company to his son George, later a three-time mayor of the city.

[1] At the end of the century the building outlived its original purpose when the traditional dye industry gave way to aniline-based mixtures.

By 1913 it would be reused as the David H. Schmidt Piano Hammer factory, whose name is still visible on the facade between the second and third stories.
