Armitage Manufacturing Company

Armitage Manufacturing Company, also known as Fibre Board Container Company, is a historic factory building located in Richmond, Virginia. The original section was built in 1900, and is a two-story, brick building; a third story was added in 1924. Around 1928, a three-story extension was constructed at the rear of the front wing. In 1954, a large barrel-roofed, metal bowstring truss wing was added. It was constructed for the production of building supplies and roofing paper, and then used for corrugated container manufacturing. The building is used as a warehouse.[3]
