The first attachment is the 1967 aerial photo that has appeared in the Winchester Collector for reference.
The second photo shows the renovation of Building 1 into luxury lofts under the name Winchester Lofts.
The third photo is part of the unrestored factory in the vicinity of Building 7 on the aerial.
I was shocked that there is no historical sign or marker talking about the Winchester factory or even Oliver Winchester.
Does anyone know of one that I might have missed?

Such a shame. I like your last photo the best. What part of the factory is it? Looks like there is a gap in the fence wide enough to pass through. Did you venture onward?

Did you notice the emblem on the signs (on the renovated building) is a variation of the proof mark?

Not this time since I had the family with me. You can see what the inside looks like if you Google abandoned Winchester factory and look at the photos.

I had not noticed that. It is part of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company Historic District allowing them to use the name? It is also located on Winchester Ave.
