Dennison Manufacturing Co. Paper Box Factory, National Register of Historic Places site in Marlborough, Massachusetts
Dennison Manufacturing Co. Paper Box Factory is a former box manufacturing facility in Marlborough that occupies a large industrial site. The buildings display Early Commercial architectural style and were purpose-built for production operations before later conversion to other uses.
The Dennison Manufacturing Company operated this factory from 1923 to 1969 as a major production facility. The company itself originated in the 1840s and the Marlborough location became one of its significant manufacturing operations.
The factory's transformation from an industrial complex to residential apartments in 2007 reflects the evolution of urban development in Massachusetts.
The site has been divided into multiple residential units accessible from Maple Street and surrounding areas. Walking around the grounds gives a sense of the original industrial layout while seeing how it now serves housing needs.
The company archives are preserved at the Framingham History Center and provide detailed documentation of decades of manufacturing operations. These records offer a complete picture of how the facility functioned and evolved over time.
