Notes
  • Significance: The Manufacturing Building of the Enterprise Pottery is significant as a primary production building of a late nineteenth and early twentieth century sanitary pottery complex. According to an 1890 map, the earliest extant portion of the building then contained work shops on the upper floors and a green room and slip shops on the first floor. Later, an enlarged building was used as a press shop and slip house, as well as a boiler and engine house. Enterprise Pottery, one of more than a dozen sanitary potteries in operation in Trenton at the turn of the twentieth century, was reportedly the first purpose-built industrial pottery in the United States specifically set up to manufacture sanitary earthenware. During the twentieth century, most of the production buildings of the Trenton pottery industry have been demolished. The manufacturing building of the Enterprise Pottery represents a rare architectural survival from an industry on which Trenton built its reputation as a nationally important manufacturing center during the American Industrial Revolution.
