Description
Photograph of the Casey Jones work clothes factory located on East Court Street in Woodstock.
Opened in 1926, the plant made jeans, overalls, and other clothing for the U.S. Navy and factories around the country.
Casey Jones was purchased by Blue Bell Inc., who later introduced Wrangler Jeans. They continued to operate the plant on E. Court St. until 1956 when a new factory opened on the south end of town.
Over the next several decades this building would be a realty office and retail shop. In the 1980s and 1990s it was home to a radio station and Channel 10 TV which covered Woodstock area news.
Today it is home to the Woodstock Brew House.
