Buffalo Pottery: 1910


The Illustrated Buffalo Express newspaper ran an extensive photographic article with narrative in February, 1910. Although the pottery is unnamed, the article makes clear that it is the Buffalo Pottery company, a subsidiary of the Larkin Company. Here is the detailed article describing the reporter's tour of the plant on Seneca and Hayes Streets. All images and captions, except those of slides, are original to the Express article.
