 The
oldest known occupant of our newly converted building
was the Flynn and Emrich Machine Works, which operated
there from 1890 until 1912 when the building was taken
over by the Maryland Meter Works. By 1942, the building
housed a realty firm, printing company, engineering
firm and the Breco
Manufacturing Company.
Ten
years later, the site became known as the Breco
Building, although the name continued to be changed
to reflect new ownerships. Recently, the building was
home to the Smith Printing Company which donated the
letterpress printing machine shown here for display
in our lobby. It was inherited from a previous printer
and is thought to be over three-quarters of a century
old.
