John, where abouts was that building you posted a photograph of in Reply #35?

Posts 34 and 35 are the

MAIN "Maple Street" plant and offices. The new "International" building is attached to the big brown building. The warehouse is sort of behind it, and more factor space is behind the big white building.
That brown building is SACRED ground in Ohio....that's where "it ALL happened".
There was an Industrial Park, (now a church) on the highway. Behind it is still the current "Distribution Center". I was in there too...amazing. Every TTI product we get comes out of there.

EVERYONE LOVES your "Art Deco" HOOVER BUILDING. It is a stunning example of that are form, and a testament to HOOVER and all things British. One day, I WILL stand on that ground.

One day, I WILL stand on that ground.

I would love to also, maybe one day we'll both me it down there!

My 1951 Hoover Dustette was made in that building and I could think of nothing better than to see it with my own eyes.

It's stunning, isn't it?

Just a shame it's stood empty. I think Tesco own it now and there's a bloody great supermarket plonked on the land behind it. A lot of the smaller buildings were demolished when that was built.

Yes, according to Wikipedia and Google Maps there is a terrible looking Tesco at the rear and the front (where thankfully the lettering still remains affixed) has a sign advertising offices to let.

Yes, I heard that too.

But, thank goodness at least the facade is still there. It's all such a sad shame.

Indeed, although for how much longer I don't know.

If only I was a multi-milionaire I would buy all the Hoover buildings and ensure they remained as they were originally.

Ah, at least I can dream!!
