Notes
“The Eagle Pottery was erected in 1876 by Richard Millington, one of the pioneers of the pottery business in this city, who has been for many years successfully associated with the firm of Millington & Astbury. Mr. Millington retiring from business, it was purchased Dec. 1, 1879, by H. Nelson Burroughs, of Philadelphia, who leased it to the firm of Burroughs, Mountford & Co., consisting of his son, Henry A. Burroughs, Elijah Mountford, and Joseph Burroughs.”
