Notes
  • Significance: Disston Precision, Incorporated, is the last remaining physical and institutional vestige of Henry Disston's Keystone Saw Works. For about a century, Disston saws were among the finest made anywhere in the world. In 1872, Henry Disston moved the works from a center city location to Tacony. With the saw and associated steel works as the standard-bearer, Tacony became an industrial locale that contributed heavily to Philadelphia's contemporary nickname, "workshop of the world."
