Parker Pen Company, East Court Street, Janesville, ca 1920

Product Description

This photograph depicts the Parker Pen Company building circa 1920.

Incorporated in 1892, Parker Pen began its operations in the Myers Opera House building, but had to re-locate to larger facilities in 1901 and 1908 before moving in the building on East Court Street across from the courthouse in 1920.

The building underwent major renovation in the 1970s, and the original doorway arch is now located in the Rotary Botanical Gardens.
