Here are some more Vintage Pictures from the Publicker Plant in Philadelphia!
1. The Docks at Publickers Bigler Street Plant looking toward NY City.
2. Another shot of the Abandoned Bigler Street Plant, The debris is what is left of the Guard House where Butch Clocked in.
3. The Synder Ave Distillery in 1936 At Swanson Street. This is where Butch started at Publicker in 1967!

Butch started there in 1967 and I started at Kinsey in 1966 sept. Small world. I never thought I would see the day both plants would be abandoned and gone. When I left Kinsey it was the Hub of lots of work. about 600 people. Publicker was the worlds bigest Maker of industrial and Drinking spirits. But in fall of 1986 the end came swiftly.
