Douglass Shoe Factory
Bring a little Marlborough home.
Matte Hardcover Journal · 150 lined pages · 5.71 × 8.07 inches
Set aside a few minutes for a list or some reading notes, with the journal open and a pen ready beside the book you have been reading. The Douglass shoe factory's roof tower and loading platform rise above workers and freight, giving Marlborough's manufacturing scene practical details to notice.
A circa-1910 postcard shows the Douglass shoe factory on Howe Street in Marlborough. Its roof tower, loading platform, workers and horse-drawn freight place the factory within a working neighborhood. The source records local manufacturing; it does not establish that the building used Assabet waterpower.
The factory belongs to Howe Street's working setting, keeping Marlborough's shoe manufacturing attached to a particular building and the activity around it. Use it for notes at home or away, with the local picture on the cover.
