Glenwood Ranges, Stoves and Furnaces
Weir Stove Co., Taunton, Mass.

In the early years of the twentieth century, Glenwood stoves were a familiar sight in thousands of American homes. Manufactured by the Weir Stove Company in Taunton, Massachusetts, they were emblematic of the rapid industrialization that swept the northern and mid-western states following the Civil War. Founded in 1879 by Charles F Baker, George E Wilbur and William E Walker, the company began operations in a converted barn with an output of just four stoves per day.

Twenty years later, the Weir Stove Company was situated in a sprawling factory complex occupying almost ten acres. By then, approximately 850 employees turned out two Glenwoods per minute—that’s 80,000 per year—enough to make the company one of the city’s leading employers as well as the largest stove manufacturer east of Detroit, Michigan... ediblecommunities.com
