Alfred Dolge was an industrialist, manufacturer and importer of piano parts and component resources. Dolge founded a piano parts factory (Alfred Dolge and Sons Felt and Sounding Board Factories), manufacturing felt products at Brockett’s Bridge in Fulton County, New York which in 1887 was renamed to Dolgeville. Alfred Dolge brought in Italian immigrant workers to build the Dolgeville to Little Falls railroad, and they lived in an encampment near Little Falls and used the Italian Community Bake Oven to cook bread, which still stands to this day.
