This mural portrays the Covington side of the Ohio River in 1862. Is that the "Gray, Hemingray & Bro." glassworks in the distance?

According to page 6 of "Hemingray Glass Co. - A Most Colorful History" by H.G. "Bea" Hyve, the Hemingray works was named "Gray, Hemingray & Bro." in 1861. The company name was changed again in 1863 to "Hemingray Bros. & Co."
