    It very well may be! Makes sense. Is this building along the Mad river? seems the Norfolk road goes thru there. I suppose it could be the one which was built after the fire of 1869. Seems the building which Martin pictured was the one that burned.
    I wonder if a period photo could be found of this later factory?
    Charlie?

    Wait! In post 44 I referred to a site on Lake St in an environmental issue at the old factory in the 70's.
    That street sign clearly says Lake St.
    Bet you have it, Charlie!
