The W.H. Upson Coal Company was founded in 1877. In 1902 Charles A. Upson built this stone building for his father, William Henry Upson, as the company offices. In 1910 the building weighing 440 tons, was moved westward 32 feet to make room for the expanded new Big Bridge. This building also served for a period as passenger and freight office for the Erie Railroad. The W.H. Upson Coal Company sold the building in 1952. In 1985 W.H. Upson great grandson Henry W. Schmidt purchased the building and renovated it for his law practice.
