This is not a very good photo but found this looking around for new (old) Dan Wesson info to include.  Here is some text from the EPA site:

$200,000 for hazardous substances: EPA has selected the Town of Monson for a brownfields cleanup grant. Grant funds will be used to conduct community outreach activities, plan remediation, and implement soil and groundwater cleanup at the former South Main Street School property. The property served as home to the Dan Wesson Arms Facility from 1978 to the early 1990s. Contamination at the site is attributed to the gun plating operations that took place at the arms facility.

Man, that building looks like it's been vacant long before 1992. Good place for a horror movie.Laugh LOL!

Now I see why it was torn down, though...contamination from the plating process. That, along with the building being old, would be enough to convince city hall, in most towns.
