Chambers-McKee Window Glass Company, Clay Avenue Extension, Jeannette, Westmoreland County, PA
Summary
Significance: The largest window glass factory in America when constructed in the late 1880s, the American Window Glass Company plant at Jeannette embodied the first three generations of window glass technology: the transition from artisanal production to Lubbers machine, and the replacement of Lubbers technology by Fourcault machinery. Until it closed, this was the last plant in North America using this technology.
