In 2025, the site is a parking lot (south side) and the Dockside Marketplace building (north side). "...the shipyard north of the Heath Grist Mill [building on far right with steam pouring out] on the 1874 bird’s-eye view on the lots that would become the Rogers & Bird shipyard, it was the Heath shipyard. ... the blacksmith John Priest had his shipsmith shop on lot 220 at the southwest corner of Main and Water Streets. ... after 1897, there is the Bird Boat company on north side and Charles E. Bird & Company, aka Bird & Whitney, on the south side. The boat company was Bird and his son Carl, plus Henry "Hank" Perkins." -- James T. Faasen, August 2025
