The Roberts and Mander Stove Company Buildings complex is an historic, American factory site that is located in Hatboro, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.[1]

History and architectural features

This complex consists of six contributing buildings and one contributing structure. They are the foundry building (c. 1915, c. 1960), the main manufacturing building (1915-1944), the gate house (c. 1925), the transformer house (c. 1925), the smelter (c. 1925), the garage (c. 1925), and the water tank.

The buildings are one-and-one-half-story, brick structures with flat roofs and large window openings. The Roberts and Mander Stove Company acquired the existing Hatboro Foundry buildings in 1918, and operated until 1950.[2]

This complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.[1] A portion of the site has been converted into apartments known as the Hatboro Lofts.[3] The water tank was torn down in November 2017.
