Notes
“John H. Brewer, who was anxious to continue in the pottery business after the failure of his famous company, Ott & Brewer, joined with Fell and Thropp in March, 1894 to create the Hart Brewer Pottery Co. Pottery operations finally ended shortly after the turn of the century, thus concluding 50 years of pottery production at this location. The buildings were converted to use in connection with a plumbing supply business.”
