Oldest East Grafton Window Glass Plant Destroyed by Fire
Fire starting at 1 40 am gutted the Royal Window Glass Co plant in East Grafton near the B&O yard office. Loss estimated at $365000 with no rebuilding planned. Firefighters limited spread to nearby gas producer and storage structures, saving some buildings and orders of timber and glass worth thousands. The plant, one of the state’s oldest, had recently been remodeled from hand to machine production at a cost of about $180000. Insurance coverage varied, and renovation plans were dropped as the blaze raged across the wooden complex.
