Shows several of the 50 buildings of the premier glass works, including the factory adorned with the sign "Dyottville Glass Works", farmhouses, and barns. Workers enter the factory and walk on the grounds. Also shows several skiffs docked in front of the complex. The works also had a butcher shop, bakery, and chapel.

The factory ceased operations following Dyott's conviction for fraud in 1837 but resumed glass manufacturing in 1842 under the new ownership of Henry Seybert and was active until the end of the century., Philadelphia on Stone, Historical Society of Pennsylvania: Stauffer, vol.
