    I like your priject. That's a nice looking razor, too.

    Do you have any idea of when the factory was built?

    It was first a carpet factory in the early 1800's. There was a plaque with some early history, remember some dates from the 1830's when the carpet factory was active. Several companies occupied the factory over time.
