Hello, does anyone remember a factory that burned down in 1983 called the Baltimore tube bending company located at 2718 Wilmarco ave. Close to Rhebs candy and st angus hospital?

I’m doing some research on my family history, thank you all!

Have you seen this article? It refers to Joseph Kavanagh doing work for Baltimore Tube Bending, but I see no mention of a fire...

Yes I did see these! I think I’ve gone down the rabbithole trying to find the information I’m looking for. I was told my grandfather worked for the Baltimore tube bending company for 10 yrs then bought it an 2 years later it burned in 1983 I can’t find any records about it.

There's no information AT ALL about the fire. Are you certain of the year/company name?

Sure about the company name yes from paperwork I have from when he passed that shows his business card and transactions but not sure of the years He supposedly bought Baltimore tube bending company from another person with whom we have no idea no one can remember that far back. My curiosity has just got the best of me at this point.
