Description
Exterior view of what the sign in front proclaims is "Babcock & Wilcox, W. F. & John Barnes." W. F. & John Barnes was formed about 1874 and later became Babcock & Wilcox. By 1984, Ingersoll was housed here. This structure, at 326 S. Madison St., was where the old Rockford Watch Factory was located (see photo 87.147.16).
