Hi George. I'm still trying to find information the Richmond carbine factory after it moved to Alabama.
I found this website http://www.civilwaralbum.com/misc17/tallassee1.htm here is some information from that website: "Tallassee (originally called Talisi by the Creek Indians) is a city located on the Tallapoosa River in Alabama. In June 1864, the Confederate army moved the Richmond Carbine Factory from Richmond, Virginia to an old Tallassee cotton mill, which then began manufacturing carbines. During the course of the Civil War, the town of Tallassee was never attacked by Union forces, except for one attempt by the Union Army to destroy the Tallassee Mill. The Tallassee Armory was the only Armory not destroyed by the Union during the Civil War. The Tallassee Armory is in poor condition today and is considered a place in peril. Funds are being raised for it's possible restoration and plans are even in the works to change it into a residential/retail shopping area. "
