I was granted access to another building last weekend. It was the home of a Wire Goods plant from 1880 to 2005. Here is some history:

pioneered glued-together strips of staples, an innovation that made staplers possible in the early 1900s. They made staples of all shapes and sizes from 1880 until 2005. Other wire products were used in cash registers to hold bills, inside computers to keep components cool, to hang chickens by their feet in automated plucking lines, in hospitals to sterilize equipment, in clean room manufacturing of computer chips, and as hooks on military tents in Afghanistan and Iraq. one of the longest surviving metal forming manufacturers, home to generations of ingenious tool and die makers, closed in Spring 2005.

Right now it is up for auction this month for redevelopment. There have been two fires at the site since closure but all in all a lot of artifacts left behind.
