Description
Discover Staten Island’s vanished industries as we look at such manufactories as Procter & Gamble, US Gypsum, Rubsam & Horrmann’s Atlantic Brewery, the George Bechtel Brewery, SS White, Mayer’s Confections, the Atlantic Terra Cotta Company, the Kreischer Brick Company, and so many others. Who financed these operations? Who were the people who labored at these locations? Where did these factories go, and what was their lasting environmental impact?
