Whiteside, Barnett and Co. Agricultural Works, also known as Canal-Front Warehouse, is a historic factory and warehouse complex located at Brockport in Monroe County, New York. It is a largely intact and rare surviving example of the brownstone industrial building that once lined the banks of the Erie Canal at Brockport. It is also the only surviving building related to the local reaper manufacturing industry. The existing buildings were built between 1850 and 1852 for the Agricultural Works in Brockport, later known as Whiteside, Barnett and Co. The property was later used as a lumberyard from about 1880 to 1904 and as a cannery until 1945.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. In 2008, the property was purchased by a local development corporation called the Greater Brockport Development Corp (GBDC). Red Hook (Brooklyn) developer Greg O'Connell, who recently revitalized the business district of Mount Morris, New York (, has expressed an interest in the property, feeling that it can spark a similar revitalization in Brockport.
