Explosion at Lake City...

[fjruple]

Folks
I apologize for hi-jacking this thread but I thought I would post a picture of what today remains of the Eddystone Rifle Plant which produced the Eddystone Pattern 1914 and Model of 1917 Rifles. The long series of buildings in the foreground are all that remains of the plant area. The road on the left side of the picture is Simpson Street. To the right of Simpson Street in the upper section of the picture in the parking lot is where most of the main production and assembly buildings were located. The large building down from the parking is "Wally World". The art deco building in the upper right of the picture that looks like a prison is now the headquarters for the local office of the Federal Railroad Administration.
