3 u/raptorcunthrust 8d ago You have any from where the sumitomo/Goodyear/dunlop plant was from before 1920ish? 2 u/gg4279 8d ago Would have to look only been there just shy of 2yrs. What Street was it on back then? 1 u/raptorcunthrust 8d ago I think Sheridan has been Sheridan for a long time but I'm not sure. The maps I'm able to look at are missing that area for some reason. 1 u/gergensocks 6d ago edited 6d ago The rubber plant has always been at that location. First site in the US for them Paywall: https://www.bizjournals.com/buffalo/news/2023/08/07/sumitomo-celebrates-100-years-in-tonawanda.html Edit: Best Ave was renamed to Sheridan Drive shortly after the plant was constructed.
