DID YOU KNOW?

The manufacture of glass in Washington, Pennsylvania, was stimulated by the discovery of abundant oil and natural gas in the 1880s. The Duncan & Miller factory was the second of the six factories producing glass of all types, from window glass to fine tableware, located in Washington by 1900.
