      Yes, Andrew was trained as a carpenter, and also had a furniture business with Mr. Almy. He also probably made coffins at one time as well- a receipt has been found for one he sold. Real estate seems to have been his ultimate money-making outlet though, and he bought a lot of it in the land buying boom during the 1870’s. The Borden Bldg alone boasted 44 offices and 12 arcade shops.
