The History of Keystone Manufacturing Company From 1919 to 1967
Hello Derrick!
I am a student filmmaker, and am working on filming a short documentary this month, (May 2025), for a class project. My doc is about my grandfather’s Keystone Movie Camera, built at the Keystone Manufacturing building in Boston, MA in the 1940s. I would love to use your image of the old Keystone building in my film, if that’s possible. The building still stands, and is now an apartment complex for seniors. I appreciate your help, thanks!
Hello Deborah,
Go ahead and use the photo. The photo is from circa 1930 before it was the Keystone factory. At that point it was a piano factory. I have never found a picture when the building belonged to Keystone.
