Monroe: History of condensery
The Monroe Historical Society has scheduled a presentation about the Carnation milk brand and its ties to the area. The free event is set for 7 p.m. on Thursday at the Monroe Library, 1070 Village Way.
Bob Kosters, an archivist for the Carnation-Nestle Company, is expected to present the area’s history with the milk brand and Carnation Condensery.
The condensery smokestack was recently painted. It is all that remains of the once sprawling plant that put Monroe on the map and employed many locally from 1908 to 1929.
After the plant was sold in the late 1920s, the Carnation Company consolidated Monroe operations with Mount Vernon. In 1944, the abandoned facility reopened to process flax for World War II. It was in operation for three weeks before it burned to the ground.
