| DURING WORLD WAR 2 OVER 6000 PEOPLE WERE EMPLOYED AT THIS FORMER MAXWELL FACTORY BUILDING SHERMAN TANKS FOR THE WAR EFFORT. THE PARKING LOT ON THE RIGHT WAS USUALLY FULL WHEN I WAS GROWING UP IN NEW CASTLE IN THE LATE 50'S AND EARLY 60'S. I ALWAYS KNEW WHEN MY GRANDFATHER WOULD BE HOME, YOU COULD HEAR THE SHIFT WHISTLES AT THE START AND END OF EACH SHIFT AS WELL AS AT LUNCH TIME. |
