This site was the parent to branch plants in Little Rock, Arkansas; Elizabeth, New Jersey; Santa Ana, California; with subsidiary T. L. Smith Company of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Lufkin, Texas, and the Sterling Machinery Company, formerly of Kansas City, Missouri."
To read HossC's complete post go HERE.

He includes close-ups of some of the buildings and one of them (a current view) is similiar to the building in the Lufkin photograph
but I don't think it's the same building.
