Ames Shovel Works - Long Shop (c. 1852)
The first and largest building in the Shovel Works, housing all stages of manufacturing process; set the architectural style for the rest of original granite factory complex (1852-1907).
Used for Oliver Ames & Sons and successors for shovel-making activities. Rehabilitation and restoration will yield 113 rental units on several acres of landscaped open space. Photo: Kate Matison (2010)
