F. Lunkenheimer & Co.'s manufactory is situated in the building in Lodge Street, off Fountain Square, Fifth Street, that was used at one time as a Jewish synagogue. The old tablets in Hebrew are still embedded in the massive walls. The building has a frontage of 25 feet, a depth of 100 feet, and a height of 3 stories.
The Cincinnati Brass Works, the trade name by which Mr. Lunkenheimer's establishment is known, was started by himself in the year 1862. This branch of manufacture was at that time, short as it is ago, of a very primitive character: but the forty skilled mechanics, and the modern machinery now in use in his factory, turn out work equal to the best made in the United States or any other country. The specialties made are Locomotive and Stationary Engine goods. Mr. Lunkenheimer was the first who obtained a patent on improvement in steam valves, and he enjoys a reputation second to none for the superiority and excellence of his brass castings. The trade of the house extends over almost every State of the Union, and is still increasing in every department, and during the last four or five years Mr. Lunkenheimer has made many shipments of his goods to various European countries.
The firm manufacture all descriptions of Engine-builders and Steam-fitters Brass Goods. |
