A significant portion of each of the novels featuring Plum takes place in or around "The 'Burg." ==Industrial Heritage== John A. Roebling, the builder of the Brooklyn Bridge, founded his wire making company in the neighborhood along the Delaware and Raritan Canal, now covered by Route 129, in 1849. Under the leadership of his sons the company grew to be Trenton's largest employer, with a massive industrial complex on the western side of Chambersburg. Operations ceased at the plant in 1974, with parts having undergone adaptive reuse and others awaiting redevelopment. Two different parts of the complex have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Roebling Machine Shop, and John A. Roebling's Sons Company, Trenton N.J., Block 3. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chambersburg, Trenton, New Jersey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
