1889 Map319 viewsThis is from an 1889 Sanborn Map for Wellington. It shows the Bennett Bros and Co. Foundry and Machine Shop, which would later become Wellington Machine. The two structures at the right, marked "DWG" are houses. Various parts of the plant such as sheds, machine shop, storage, foundry, and sawing/planing shops are listed.

Sanborn Maps were produced for insurance companies to provide fire insurance. They would typically include information such as construction type, heating type, fuel sources, etc.
