The factory built seaplanes, including the Gallaudet 'Battlecruiser' D series for the U.S. Navy during World War I. Following the war in 1923, the corporation was sold and became part of Consolidated Aircraft Company, leaving its factory empty and virtually unused through World War II into the mid-1940s. Currently all the factory buildings have been demolished, but two cement floors remain with the larger floor of the metal boiler plant and the smaller floor, a bit to the Northwest, was the brick kiln for drying wood for the seaplanes. That floor has a brick border showing where the building walls surrounded the kiln.
