The village owes its origin to the Hazard Powder Company that operated along the nearby Scantic River from 1835 to 1913. The village grew up on the main street, now Hazard Avenue, that runs roughly parallel to and approximately 1,500 feet north of the river. The powder company site, known as Powder Hollow, and its adjacent 19th-century community are the sub­ ject of this nomination. Together they encompass about 1075 acres, including approximately 260 sites and structures, of which IL! are considered not to contribute to the historic character of the district. The boundary line is drawn to encompass the powder factory site and the exis-ting 19th-century buildings of the community that was associated with it. The Scantic River drops ij.0 £eet as it runs through Powder Hollow on its way to the Connecticut RiverCKo "bams, first of wood and later of ma­ sonry, provided the water power to run the grinding mills for production of powder in about 200 dispersed buildings, many connected by an intricate canal system. The layout as of i860 is shown by the attached picture map. The dams, canals, and almost all of the buildings are gone now. Nothing has taken their place, and Powder Hollow is now a pleasant wooded area along the river. Most of the acreage that is free of buildings is sched­ uled to become part of the state's new 3>000-acre Scantic River Park. A portion of this land, approximately 80 acres (map numbers 83-13* 83-11+)* now owned by the Gordon Brothers interests who bought it when the powder company closed in 1913> is included in the district. These 80 acres are on both sides of the river and encompass one of the principal early dam sites, A-further portion of this land, most of which has changed hands from time to time is included in the district for its potential archae- ; logical interest related to the former powder mills. These 25 parcels are listed separately at the end of item number Ij.. Most of these parcels are wood lots; two are working farms. Sections of Powder Hollow that have been developed into conventional building lots with mid-20th-century houses have been excluded from the district, except along the west side of South Maple Street where they are needed to provide a connector between Powder Hollow and the community. (These houses are designated non-contributing.) The handful of Hazard Powder Company buildings that remain standing are on Dust House Road, in private hands. One is a two-story barn on the south­ west corner of South Maple Street and Pust House Road (8lL-7)\ "A relatively plain structure of vertical boarding with a gabled roof and a gabled-roof cupola, it once housed forty horses used in the business. Anojbhgr mas­ sively-framed, two-story building (83-1) was a packing house.' re was cus­ tomary for Powder Hollow buildings to have the siding lightly attached ..so that in the event of an explosion the blast pressure could escape, dis-) placing the siding on the way, but leaving the frame standing and ready.for rehabilitation. Two small brick buildings are also standing along Dustj House Road (8I+-9, 83-U, the latter displaying s ?^is_ticated ^ick w~ '- that includes arched architrave around the doorway, 'At the location east of the intersection of South Maple Street and the Scantic River there is an early 20th-century brick building containing a turbine, stall UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR HERITAGE CONSERVATION AND RECREATION SERVICE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES INVENTORY ~ NOMINATION FORM Hazardville National Register Historic District Enf ield, Connecticut CONTINUATION SHEET Prop.

  • Du Pont Company Expansion Beyond the Bankso F the Brandywine 1859 - 1934
    A CHART OF Du Pont Company Expansion Beyond the Banks Of THe BRAnDYWIne 1859 - 1934 Sally Giaartler Harris August 31* I960 Raglay Htiseuia This chart of Du Pont Company expansion beyond the banks of the Brandywine has bean coiapiled in preparation for the Hagley Museum* a second floor exhibit which will introduce the trend toward "bigness" throughout American industry. The second floor exhibit is designed to continue the story of American industrial progress told through the first floor exhibits, but the frame of reference on the second floor shifts from the Brandywine Valley to the nation. As a growing population moved westward to create new states in the wilderness, the old patterns of industry which prevailed along the eastern sdll streams during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries gave way to a dynamic envelopment, lew sources of power, new products, technological improvements, larger industrial units, new forms of organisation, and a revolution in transportation and eosBsuni- cation were the characteristics of a new America. This paper attempts to trace tha major acquisitions of the Du Pont Company in this era of expansion and progress, and thus show how it grew to meet new demands and to supply new markets.

ALTERNATE FORMATS: RELATED HOLDINGS: ACCESSION 2003.0460 NUMBER: NOTES: HISTORICAL SKETCH On the morning of 15 October 1907 a series of explosions at the Laflin & Rand powder mill blasted the small mining town of Fontanet in the Nevins Township of Vigo County. The mill, which was owned by the DuPont Powder Company, produced blasting powder for use in the area's coal mines. Twenty-seven people were killed, hundreds were injured, and nearly all the homes in the area were damaged or destroyed. It was the deadliest explosion in Vigo County history. The first explosion occurred at 9:08 that Tuesday morning in the glazing mill. The powder mill office, where superintendent Arthur Brown Monahan Jr. was meeting with T.T. Kellum, a DuPont representative from Wilmington, Delaware, was engulfed in flames, killing the two men. A huge tree was uprooted and landed on Monahan's house, killing his wife and niece. Monahan had feared a major explosion and had recently purchased a life insurance policy.

  • The Wizard's Grea...Pdf
    The WiZard’s Great Book of Absoundite and Forbidden Pyrotechnic Knowledge. I Black Power Potassium Nitrate Charcoal Black Powder Blasting FORCE OF GUNPOWDER. Although theory is not capable of estimating the force, or what is the same thing, the quantity of powder necessary to produce a certain effect, long experience has established the relative quantities of powder which are necessary under different circumstances, with sufficient accuracy for all practical purposes. These different circumstances are always of the same kind with reference to the artillery, where the range is the only thing that varies; whilst in blasting they are very various, loose earth has frequently to be blown up and at other times, solid rock; sometimes, the object is to destroy and hurl the fragments to a distance, and at others to get rid of them in a manner as little dangerous as possible, as for instance, in cases of civil engineering. For the latter purposes, the use of powder has very much increased since the introduction of railroads has given. occasion to so many excavations, and since the use of the galvanic battery in igniting the charge, has rendered the operation so free from all danger and removed all chance of failure from the modes, of blasting under water. A few examples will serve to illustrate the magnitude of such operations, and bear witness to the successful result of* the undertakings. The line of railroad coming from Folkestone, after passing several viaducts, tunnels, and cuttings, traverses the Abbot's Rock Tunnel. To reach from thence Shakespeare's Cliff (near Dover) in a direct line, the projecting rock at Round Down, an immense mass of chalk, which exactly intercepted the line, had to be removed.

    Thesis When Du Pont went global: how the Du Pont family built a multinational empire (1910-1967) LOMBARDI GAUTHIER, Liza Abstract La thèse se concentre sur les mécanismes de multinationalisation de l'entreprise américaine Du Pont de Nemours, entre 1910 et 1967. Fondé en 1802 par la famille éponyme, ce producteur de poudres explosives s'est développé et a diversifié ses activités aux Etats-Unis au cours du XIXème siècle, et ce jusqu'à devenir l'un des principaux groupes chimiques américains. Durant le XXème siècle, la Du Pont s'érige comme un compétiteur international en développant ses affaires en Europe, en Asie, et rapidement d'une manière globale sur tous les continents. Partant de cette histoire, la thèse cherche à comprendre quelles ont été les motivations de la famille à agrandir de telles manières ses activités, et comment l'entreprise familiale a survécu à cette internationalisation. Ces questions sont développées au regard des relations politiques et économiques américaines, aussi bien qu'internationales, et en comparaison avec le développement multinational d'entreprises contemporaines à la Du Pont.
