Lawson Airplane Company-Continental Faience and Tile Company

The Lawson Airplane Company-Continental Faience and Tile Company was a factory complex in South Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

[3] The last airplane it attempted to build was the Lawson L-4, super airliner, a 56-seat, six engine large biplane.

From this site Lawson attempted the first test flight of the L-4, which failed, hastening the end of the company in 1922.

The company struggled during World War Two due to a worker shortage and finally folded in 1944.

Midwest Potteries bought the factory and manufactured ceramic lamp bases and figurines until 1952, the complex was then used as a warehouse until it was torn down.
