Irishman William Kehoe became the owner of the foundry in 1879 and renamed it, the following year, to Kehoe Iron Foundry.[4][5] The building was altered in 1883, including the removal of the cupola above the central section.
The building's 21st-century renovation won the Marguerite Williams Award for Excellence in Rehabilitation.[1]
