Milwaukee WI

Most recent update: May 18, 2016.
This yard was started by James M. Jones, on what is now known as Jones Island.  After several changes of ownership and location, it became Wolf & Davidson in 1867 and continued under that name until closing in 1892.  The yard was located at the foot of Washington Street: see the site from the air on Google here.
