1896: The Rothschild Factory

Hamiltonians who are familiar with that huge red brick building on the corner of Nottingham Way and Johnston Avenue will remember the building as being the home of Atlantic Products Corp., manufacturers of golf and luggage bags. The building was originally constructed as a textile mill for the Rothschild Company. The building has fallen into disrepair and is an eyesore today. However, I understand that in the near future there is a possibility that the building will be restored to its original splendor and become still another 19th century treasure.
