No, but I wouldn't mind going back in time for a day just so I could tour the plant and maybe have lunch in that "luncheonette". Looks like that W in the far right of the picture mihgt be a Woolworth sign? ' can't make out what the neon sign above the W represents.
Love the picture anyway. Thanks for posting it.

Not sure if I am facing the right direction, but you can pivot easy enough
I think this is the correct view...all newer stuff one would expect placed on old factory grounds.

If I had to take a guess I would say this is the 1930's/1940's era. ------------- "Better By Design" |

There isn't one frickin scrap of anything from that first picture to be seen in the present day. Talk about being wiped off the map. |
