Fall River Iron Works

1883 Fall River Atlas - View of the American Printing Company and the Fall River Iron Works. By the late 1880s the Iron Works complex was demolished for the expansion of the American Printing Company. The new mills produced the cotton cloth for the print works, along with dozens of other mills in Fall River, and became known as the "Iron Works Division" of the APC, a tribute to the importance of the Iron Works in the early history of Fall River. This site is now occupied by Boremco.
