It was built in 1924-25 and manufactured sanitary ware.

Later it was purchased by American Standard in 1929 and production continued until 2002. The site lies adjacent to the Hamilton Train Station on the Northeast Corridor Line. It has been redeveloped as offices and is the centerpiece of transit-oriented development around the station.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Barucco|first1=Suzanna|title=Thomas Maddock's Sons Company|url={{NRHP url|id=08000178}}|website=National Register of Historic Places|publisher=National Park Service|date=August 27, 2007}}</ref>
