The old West Pullman works was located on 120th Street in the West Pullman area of Chicago. In its better days the area was chock full of large manufacturing factories. I recall that Ingersoll company was on the same stretch of street, maybe a mile away. My Dad spent his entire adult life working in this facility and the one thing that I came to understand was that International Harvester would make ANYTHING that would make a buck. This site, as I recall, manufactured the big hydraulic cylinders used on construction equipment like road graders and bulldozers. But at different times they had manufactured items as diverse as buses, refrigerators and M1 Army rifles for the government ( which are highly prized by people who collect guns ).
Anyway the times and economy changed and the place was closed and torn down in the mid 1980s. I don't know when it was first built. International Harvester became Navistar and now all they make are truck engines and memories.
