A 19th-century manufacturing complex has reopened in Easton, as a residential community.

The Boston Globe reports that Ames Shovel Works recently re-opened as the home of 113 new residences.

A $46 million revitalization, the building was once home to over 500 workers that used production-line assembly methods.

Prior to the revitalization, the building was considered to be one of the country’s most endangered historic landmarks.
