Explosion at Lake City...

[WarPig1976]

This property was next to the Eddystone Rifle manufacturing facilities which was leased from Baldwin. In fact the Eddystone munitions company where the explosion took place was owned and operated by the Baldwin Locomotive works. I bet it blew a lot of the glass windows out the Rifle factory.

This is a common misconception!! Baldwin was the landlord, period. There was a convoluted corporate deal between Baldwin and a fellow named Marcellus Hartley a big time investor in Remington and a new company was formed called Remington Arms of Delaware.
When Baldwin agreed to build the new building they where constructed in such a way as to be easily converted to train sheds. All the tooling was Remington's, the employees where employed by Remington of Delaware. There's even more to the story but the bottom line is, not a single Eddystone or ERA "Eddystone Remington Arms" marked rifle was built by Baldwin.
Sorry for the rant but I live here so it interests me.
