Norton Administration Building: Off Limits Tour

Thanks to a partnership with Saint-Gobain Abrasives and the Worcester Business Development Corporation, our second Off Limits Tour of the year offers a rare opportunity to explore the former Norton Company Administration Building—later used by Saint-Gobain Abrasives—constructed in 1913.

This special tour highlights Norton Hall and the remarkable Arthur Covey murals, installed in 1927. These ten panels vividly illustrate the emery wheel manufacturing process, from mining to industrial application.

For more than a century, the building has served as office space, with access to Norton Hall largely restricted to meetings and special events. Now, for a limited time, you can step inside.
