O'Hara Waltham Dial factory
The O'Hara Waltham Dial Company is a historic factory building at 74 Rumford Avenue in Waltham, Massachusetts. The three story brick structure was built in 1897 by Daniel O'Hara, and housed his company, a spinoff from the Waltham Watch Company which specialized in the manufacture of a variety of clock faces. The building has distinctive corner towers with panelled brick surfaces, although these are a later addition. O'Hara's company operated until the late 1950s; the facility was then used in the manufacture of traffic signals and luggage.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
On April 5th, 2019 the city of Waltham issued a Notice of Unsafe Structure for the building. On June 12th, 2019 it was decided that the building is beyond repair and must be demolished.
