Anyone know about this old factory?

"I visited the movie’s set, housed in an old pinball-machine factory in Richmond, Va."

Just from a quick google search, Looks like it was around in 1932. Not really a whole lot of info.

That is very interesting. I grew up in Richmond and did not move away until after college because of the poor job market for engineering.
There are a lot of historical buildings and sites in Richmond.
