Earliest known depiction of The Wakefield Factory, around 1856.
Founded by Cyrus Wakefield in what was then South Reading, Massachusetts, the business would eventually become the Heywood-Wakefield Company, one of the foremost furniture maufacturers in the country. South Reading changed its name to "Wakefield" in 1868, after Cyrus donated money and land for a new Town Hall. - Contributor
