I am curious if anybody here worked there ? If so do you have any Pictures of the inside or outside of the Factory That you would share please ? I would love to see a picture of the skywalk that was there. Any Pictures of Allis Chalmers Existance there would be great. Thanks.

I was told there was one at the Laporte factory also by a friend that has lived just outside of Laporte his whole life and whose father worked there for several years. Have no reason not to believe him.

Their was a walkway over madison st. connecting the draper plant and I believe office building , all gone now but if you are ever in Laporte check the museum they may have a picture . Also a wonderful place to visit.

I have been to the Museum on 35 with all the cars and they didn't have much of anything showing the outside of the buildings.
