     History
    The Beaver Falls China Company produced commercial china for the food service industry and was open as early as 1936 employing the local community. The company, which has also been known as Mayer China Company, idly sits along side of the Beaver River which provided hydroelectric power for the plant.

    This collection of innocuous buildings contains a complete and fascinating illustration of china production. Thousands of pieces of pottery and earthenware remain inside. Stacks of plates, bowls, cups, and mugs are everywhere still stationed around the facility in their various production processes such as firing, glazing, screening, or in the outlet storefront.
