Thanks for posting the pics. Looks like a very sturdy building, worthy of preservation. I agree, a museum would be cool. I assume it's totally abandoned by the looks of things....? Darin

In the late 80's I met with an lawyer in their corporate office to get their approval to make replacement faces etc. for the old pumps. They arranged a tour for me of that factory. There was a super nice original pump just inside that door. I can't remember if it was a 34 or 870. The plant manager was a guy in his 40's who didn't know much about the history of the company. On the second floor he proudly showed me an example of the visible pumps they made in the 20's. IT WAS A WAYNE 615!!! Before I left I told him what they had on display... Ron
