Re: Help wanted - mystery photo



According to weather.com these are the significant Buchanan's in the US.

Buchanan, Georgia, United States

Buchanan, Michigan, United States

Buchanan, New York, United States

Buchanan, North Dakota, United States

Buchanan, Tennessee, United States

Buchanan, Virginia, United States

Buchanan Dam, Texas, United States

Next step: Directories? Phone Books?
My inclination would be to start with GA, VA, TN, MI, noting the date of the
photo and the size of the plant.

Being familiar with the Buchanan, VA (pronounced "buck-cannon") there are
host of small manufacturing sites that may fit your image.

Good Luck!

Subject: Help wanted - mystery photo


Good morning!

Found an orphaned aerial photograph of a heavy equipment manufacturing
complex. No idea what company; only identification is a label:
Buchanan Plant
No. of Acres - 101
Sq. Ft. Under Roof - 964,502
No. of Buildings - 31
No, of Machine Tools - 1240
No. of Vehicles - 160
No. of Employees - 1702

My only guess at the date is 1960s-1980s. Does any of this sound familiar to
anyone out there? Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.

Best wishes,
