National Straw Works
Bring a little Westborough home.
Metal Art Sign · 7 × 5 inches
There is room for a picture on the wall you pass on the way to the kitchen or a favorite chair. Horse-drawn freight and railway tracks surround Westborough's National Straw Works, leaving several small working details to notice around the factory buildings.
An advertising lithograph published between 1880 and 1883 depicts Westborough's National Straw Works. Horse-drawn freight and railroad tracks surround the factory buildings. Preserved by the Huntington, the image records how an industrial business presented its workplace, linking local manufacturing with the routes that served it.
The factory advertisement connects a Westborough workplace with its transport routes, offering a specific subject for someone interested in local manufacturing. Choose an indoor wall near the things you use each day, so the view is part of coming and going at home.
