History

Zenas King was hired by Moseley as a salesperson and represented Moseley at many bridge lettings, mainly in southern Ohio. King remained in Ohio and started his own bridge building business in Cleveland.[2] In 1861, Moseley decided to move the company to Boston, Massachusetts. Moseley moved his business to Boston when he discovered marketing his iron bridge designs were ideal for areas in the New England area. The company was also known as the Moseley Iron Bridge Works of Boston.

The company changed names and locations several times between 1858 and 1879, including Philadelphia[3] and New York.[4][5]
