On the left area of this historic postcard, about one block down the river was the location of the Woodward Governor Company's first two factories(1872-1910). The third factory(1910-1941) at 250 Mill Street was about two blocks from the first factory locations. The old Woodward Mill Street factory building is still standing in the year 2021.
