Corporate History
How is it possible that this article states the year of incorporation as "1857" whereas it also states that construction began in 1853? A typo in the source document (which is not uncommon)? For what it is worth I have a share certificate for this company and it is dated 1853 which, to my understanding, is the year of incorporation. I find it doubtful that they would sell shares without having a corporate entitity.
I have left the article itself unchanged on this point as I believe it is derived wholly from a primary source. If someone feels it should be edited, however, I think 1853 represents the actual fact.
