Plaintiffs' Homes and Defendants' Properties
The defendants' properties no longer look like the images shown below. The Riley Tannery buildings owned by Beatrice Foods were torn down in the early 1990s and the Cryovac Plant owned by W.R. Grace is no longer operating and the buildings have been vacant for many years. Most of the plaintiffs moved after the trial. These photographs are of the homes they lived in before or at the time of the trial.
