Looking at the remnants of a sign painted on the southeast wall of the former Neenah Stove Works, currently occupied by Hafemeister Machine Corp., 635 Main St. and International Children's Fund, 619 Main St., at Neenah, WI on 6 Jun. ’15. The sign says, “Valley Supply Corporation, Pipe, Valves, Fittings, Plumbing and Heating Supply.” This view also illustrates why some of the windows on the front of the building are so close to the ground and why the door on in front of the original building is so short, the current street level is about 2-3 feet higher than it used to be. You can see that the original arched windows have been replaced at some point. This industrial facility has a lengthy and interesting history, please refer to the album description for more detailed information. |
