Specific Item Information: The Courter Factory was built in Cobleskill NY in 1866 and over the years had many uses. The building was used by Stanton Courter as part of his lumber and manufacturing companies. By the 1920’s it was the home of Harter Silos. Harter had the patent for the wood and concrete silos seen all over the country and many of the kits were built in this building. Sadly the building burnt down in the late 50's early 60's. The building can be built with the loading dock on either side and the side addition can be moved or built as a stand alone structure.

Footprint: main building 4" by 7" with out addition, 7" by 8" with addition. The Addition as a stand alone is 1.5" by 3".
Road Name History:
A factory (previously manufactory) or manufacturing plant is an industrial site, usually consisting of buildings and machinery, or more commonly a complex having several buildings, where workers manufacture goods or operate machines processing one product into another.

Factories arose with the introduction of machinery during the Industrial Revolution when the capital and space requirements became too great for cottage industry or workshops. Early factories that contained small amounts of machinery, such as one or two spinning mules, and fewer than a dozen workers have been called "glorified workshops".

Most modern factories have large warehouses or warehouse-like facilities that contain heavy equipment used for assembly line production. Large factories tend to be located with access to multiple modes of transportation, with some having rail, highway and water loading and unloading facilities.
