This site has long been associated with lubricant manufacture, most recently Exxon Corp.'s grease products. Exxon closed the plant by the end of 1998, consolidating its operations into its bigger and newer Bakerstown plant. The property now appears to be owned by a warehouse leasing company.

Comments
