Tremont Nail Company, Historical nail factory in Wareham, Massachusetts, US
The industrial complex includes five buildings with 60 nail machines, many dating back over 125 years, producing steel cut nails for construction.
Founded in 1819 by Isaac and Jared Pratt, the factory was built on the site of a cotton mill that British forces destroyed during the War of 1812.
The factory represents Massachusetts industrial heritage, with its original wooden pegged beams and trusses constructed by skilled local shipwrights.
The factory produces steel cut nails with superior holding power, as wood fibers compress downward and wedge against the nail's tapered design.
An 1851 bell in the factory's cupola has signaled the beginning and end of work shifts for six generations of manufacturing employees.
