You are correct. The main building is still standing and is part of Jan 
Packaging, at E. Dover. They are a heavy rigging out fit. You would turn on 
to Harrison St. off Salem St. and that takes you into the Plant.  The huge 
new building behind the old building sits on the location of the old coal 
trimmers.
