Aerial view of the Metlox Pottery facility

O292.jpgCirca 1948

Aerial view of the Metlox Pottery facility. Note the Santa Fe railroad spur line for Metlox. Also note that the future Valley Blvd. is blocked by the metlox property and Kuhn Bros. lumber yard property from 10th St. to 14th St. The rail spur line caused Valley Blvd. (then called E. Railroad Dr.) to be blocked from 15th to 10th St. until it was opened in the early 1960s.
