Founded in 1874, their first building was a one-story frame building located at Pond and Mulberry Streets and erected in 1876. That building was replaced in 1882 by a two-story brick structure. In 1906, the brick building was replaced by a stone structure. That building was used to house the company until they moved to a new location on Farragut Avenue off Green Lane in 1974. The building at Pond and Mulberry Streets was restored as an office building owned by local developer Bernard Mazzocchi.
