Phillips Packing Company in the 1920's

Here's another photo of Phillips Packing Company in Cambridge, MD in the 1920's from the MSA.maryland.gov website & the H. Robins Hollyday Collection at the Talbot Historical Society, looking roughly southeast.

What's neat about this photo is that not all of the warehouses were built yet (at the center, bottom of the photo). Also notice the oil dealership at that location. They would move further northwest as Phillips expanded.

Also note the wye at the top right of the photo (just before the main curves off to the left). The engine service facility can barely be seen in the center of the wye (next to the main; with what appears to be a concrete wall or a fence around it (it could also be an ash pit, but it's really hard to tell).

Eventually, there would be a spur (with a diamond) across the north leg of the wye to serve one of Phillips canning warehouses, but it wasn't built at the time this photo was taken.

Only Factory F (the brick building on the left of the main, towards the bottom of the photograph) still stands today with an antique store inside of a portion of the building. I do believe Dorchester County received a state & federal grant to rebuild the unused portion for mixed public use.
