Wayne Assembly Plant In Richmond, Indiana

The Wayne School Bus body assembly plant in Richmond, Indiana.

When Wayne had gone out of business in 1995, Carpenter had purchased the plant, had moved of their historic home in Mitchell, Indiana and into the former Wayne plant in Richmond.

When Carpenter had also gone out of business in 2000, the manufacruing complex and offices had been sold off in sections rather than as a whole.
