http://dbpedia.org/resource/Franklin_Sugar_Refinery

The Franklin Sugar Refinery was a steam powered, brick building which began construction in 1866 on Almond and Swansons Streets by the Delaware River in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the United States. Two decades later it had expanded into the surrounding blocks. The Franklin Sugar Refining Company was formed as a corporation controlled by various firms of which Charles Custis Harrison was the senior partner. In 1892 the Franklin Sugar Refinery was sold to the American Sugar Refining Company in an effort to monopolize the sugar refining industry within the United States. It continued to operate under the same name for several decades. Other refineries operating in Philadelphia at that time were the Spreckels Company, the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining Co., and E.C. Knight & Co. rdf:langString
