The D.E. Makepeace Company was founded by David E. Makepeace in 1885, with original facilities in Providence, Rhode Island. Makepeace moved the firm to Attleboro. It specialized in plating precious metals as a preliminary step for other firms, which used their products to produce finished works for retail sale. Makepeace moved its operations to Plainville in 1979; this building was converted into residences in 1984.
