Armitage Manufacturing Company, Industrial factory in Richmond, United States
The Armitage Manufacturing Company is a factory in Richmond made of red brick with three floors and a metal-framed wing with a distinctive arched truss design. The site covers several parcels and is currently used as a warehouse.
The building was constructed in 1900 and initially made building materials and roofing paper. Production later shifted to corrugated container manufacturing during the 1900s.
The building shows how factories operated around 1900 and what industrial production looked like then. Heavy timber and brick construction reflect the building methods that were standard for the time.
The complex is located on Williamsburg Avenue and consists of connected buildings forming a large site. Access may be limited since it operates as an active warehouse facility.
The site earned recognition on both the Virginia Landmarks Register and the National Register of Historic Places in 2012. This dual designation highlights its importance to American industrial and architectural history.
