MARSH REFINERY |
||
Fall Street Bridge |
"The Marsh refinery a queer place--it's in an old mill on the lower falls of the Manuxet."
"Of course the town's real business was the refinery, whose commercial office was on the square only a few doors east of where we stood. Old Man Marsh was never seen, but sometimes went to the works in a closed, curtained car."
"Crossing the [Federal Street] bridge and turning toward the roar of the lower falls, I passed close to the Marsh refinery, which seemed to be oddly free from the noise of industry. The building stood on the steep river bluff near a bridge and an open confluence of streets which I took to be the earliest civic center, displaced after the Revolution by the present Town Square."-- The Shadow Over Innsmouth
