Holyoke Hydrant & Iron Works - Holyoke, MA Holyoke Hydrant & Iron Works manufactured fire hydrants from 1887 until 1896 in Holyoke, Massachusetts. An advertisement from 1888 shows their early hydrant line, which was based on the hydrants of Pattee companies. Pattee & Perkins, then R. Pattee & Co., and then Pattee & Draper, also from Holyoke, MA were the predecessors of Holyoke Hydrant & Iron Works. Holyoke later developed a hydrant model of their own. In 1896 the company was purchased by Norwood Engineering Co of Florence, Massachusetts, which continued manufacturing the later hydrant model under the name "The Holyoke". A more complete history of the Holyoke Hydrant & Iron Works can be found on the Pattee companies page.
