OTHER LOCATION

[edit]

DIAMOND Match company also had a facility in Green Bay Wisconsin, located on the west bank of the fox River ,directly north of the Chicago and Noth western railroad Bridge. 802 State street. It had a vast network of narrow gage track to move lumber from the water front to storage piles and into kilns. Raw materials were brought into facility by rail and schooner ships and barges . I found it and the layout of the mill on a Map Drawn by the C&NW railroad. The map is in the archives t the national railroad museum Green Bay Wisconsin. Old plate maps of the property make mention of its location. This property was later purchased by the Standard Oil company of Indiana. The property was divided and a scrapping yard for ships was along the water front. When the depression came many Half cut up ships and log barges were left to rot and sink.Most of them are still there. The old pier and barges can be seen on Google Maps. 72.135.132.62 (talk) 03:01, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
