History and architectural features edit
This complex consists of six contributing buildings and one contributing structure. They are the foundry building (c. 1915, c. 1960), the main manufacturing building (1915-1944), the gate house (c. 1925), the transformer house (c. 1925), the smelter (c. 1925), the garage (c. 1925), and the water tank.
The buildings are one-and-one-half-story, brick structures with flat roofs and large window openings. The Roberts and Mander Stove Company acquired the existing Hatboro Foundry buildings in 1918, and operated until 1950.[2]
This complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.[1] A portion of the site has been converted into apartments known as the Hatboro Lofts.[3] The water tank was torn down in November 2017.
