H. W. Clark Biscuit Company

United States historic place

The H. W. Clark Biscuit Company is a former industrial complex in North Adams, Massachusetts. The bakery that Herbert W. Clark built at this site began at a facility on Liberty Street, and expanded into a shoe factory building (demolished in 1929) that Clark had operated with a partner. When the Liberty Street plant was destroyed by fire in 1913, Clark placed its employees on a second shift in the shoe factory building, and had the building now called the Icing Building constructed.2 Wikipedia text CC BY-SA 4.0

This building was built in a style reminiscent of mills built in North Adams fifty years earlier, and is still sometimes thought to be an older building.2
