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]
