Texas Iron Works At 12300 South Main St.


Recommended Posts

Caught these historic matches on Ebay recently.  The company on the matches is Texas Iron Works located at 12300 South Main Street.

A little confusing. The area, today, is still light-industrial.  There currently is a warehouse on site of the old TIW.  However, the old warehouse could have been demolished and a new one could have been (easily) built in replacement.

One thing, and I believe this is common on postcards, is all the grass surrounding the site.  In present day, it's all development! Well, other than the Willow Waterhole Greenway near by.

This would be next door to the Waukesha Pearce Industries parcel.  WPI has been at that located for nearly a century I believe? Old school!

Cool history here! I wonder what happened with the company?
