Thurmont Historical Society view of Canning Factory burning. Notes on the back of the photo: Friday, June 30, 1967 Boiler room of the Cannery ignites. This view looks East along the WMRR track toward the Altamont Avenue crossing. The large building in the background was a warehouse for storing the canned goods before shipping. The men in front of the warehouse are standing on Altamont Avenue. Members of the Guardian Hose Company stood by during the burning in case the fire got out of hand,
