The last use of this site was Walnut Hill Wax Company. These houses are called by that name. The one-way street through the complex was named for the contractor. During World War I, this had been the site of a heating plant which supplied heat to the houses in the newly constructed town of Harriman. After the shipyard’s closing, which was supported workers from Harriman, the Bancroft Hickey Company, a firm that made grinding wheels and abrasive products, occupied the site. The wax company burned in January 2001 and the lot was cleared.
