Weber factory pictures
« on: August 16, 2021, 02:37:07 PM »
Found these recently….

Here’s a aerial of the Hickory Avenue plant In Arlington Heights. 

The same area today is a park.   The recreation center in the upper left is still there.  The factory looks to be a ball field now.   I found in the Arlington Heights historical society that the Stephen family sold the factory land to the parks department. 



This is the Weber Brothers Metal Works factory in Chicago on Jefferson Street in the west Loop downtown.  It’s a parking lot now.

Awesome! It's great to see where my 1958 Californian came from.
