Description: |
| The History of Middlesex County 1635-1885 states that "The first factory on the south stream is the bitt factory of C. L. GRISWOLD, now occupied by the Chester Manufacturing Company, consisting of Edwin G. SMITH, John H. BAILEY, and Charles E. WRIGHT, who manufacture auger bitts, corkscrews, reamers, etc. The factory is on the site of a forge built about the year 1816, and occupied by Abel SNOW in the forging of ship anchors. About 1838, the building was used for the manufacture of carriage springs, later by C. L. GRISWOLD & Co. for the manufacture of bitts, and by the present owners for the same business." |
