Barber-colman was one of Rockfords biggest manufacturers, and this complex of buildings was their headquaters until the 1980's when they sold these to reed-chatwood, and moved to a smaller plant in loves park. they mainly made temperature controls, machine tools, and other stuff. Some of these buildings will be torn down, and others will be redeveloped but currently, they are all being cleaned out for asbestos, as some of those buildings are almost 100 years old.
