The buildings (or some of them) apparently still existed until recently but had been abandoned. See www.damnedct.com/remington-arms-bridgeport/ The page has a Google map -- images from 2008 show the dilapidated plant clearly.

But in 2010, partial demolition began after a fire. See www.ctpost.com/news/article/Demolition-of-Remington-Arms-... August, 2012 saw another fire. www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/Fire-at-Old-Remington-A...

This photo appeared in Hardware World for April, 1916, in an article about Ada Schilling with the title "Lack of Physical Strength No Obstacle to Feminine Achievement". According to the article, she was 4'11" and weighed 95 pounds. She had been trap shooting for 3 years and had many trophies, including "lady championship of California and the Pacific Coast." books.google.com/books?id=pC86AQAAMAAJ&pg=PA96&lp... In this 1917 newspaper article, she encouraged other women to take up the sport, and is also identified as being from Portland, Oregon: news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1144&dat=19170623&... This 1919 article says she had relocated to Portland from San Jose, California and was married to another professional shooter, Carl Schilling. oregonnews.uoregon.edu/lccn/sn83045782/1918-11-03/ed-1/se... In 1911, Carl and Ada had a sharpshooting theatrical act that involved such feats as lighting a match with one shot and putting it out with the next. www.library.illinois.edu/dnc/Default/Skins/APE/Client.asp... The San Francisco Call ran a profusely illustrated article about the Schillings and their shooting prowess, including a photo of the diminutive Ada shooting while being held across her husband's arms: cdnc.ucr.edu/cgi-bin/cdnc?a=d&d=SFC19090711.2.165.7#

Mrs. Ada Schilling with a Remington Model 10 shotgun!!! NOT A RIFLE!!!! Although with her abilities she could probably hit trap targets with both a rifle or a shotgun.
