I’ve never seen pictures or sketches of King’s Dam, so this is a treat. This painting of the dam is credited to Tobias Bretney. For reference, this view is from the Rivers Bend side looking toward Kings Mills.

Here’s a sweet one.
The water tower was located on the corner of Maple St and Miami St.

Here’s one I’ve never seen before. What an amazing historical image. Of all the images I’ve shared over the years, this may well be my favorite. Thanks to Willard Spicer for his relentless pursuit for historical truth and accuracy. Talk about deep cuts! Wow!

What once was an office for the King Powder Company before it became our Post Office is now a private residence.

Some excellent pictures of Peters Cartridge Company during the 1907 flood. Note the King Powder Company buildings that line the river in the foreground of the second picture.

Ran across these photos from another forum post. The first picture is of the Kings Powder Company offices. The second picture is one of the many mills along the race.

An interesting article with interesting pictures and equally interesting captions, however it does contain several errors. Peters Cartridge Company was never a gun powder factory. Powder was produced across the river at Kings Powder Company. PCC always produced ammunition and led the industry in competition shooting events resulting in standards that are relevant still to this day.

While the forbidden mystique of the Peters Cartridge Factory has taken center stage for the majority of our lives, the historic property is cocked and loaded for an entirely new endeavor.
