Schweiger Industries Plant was built in stages between 1916 and 1975 and is located in Jefferson, Wisconsin. Owned and operated by local entrepreneur Benjamin Schweiger and his nephew successors, by the early-1970s Schweiger Industries was the largest employer in Jefferson County and ranked third in the United States in furniture manufacturing. The company manufactured lounge chairs, chair and sofa frames, sectional couches, stuffed upholstered living room furniture, as well as sofa beds and murphy beds.
The building is the last remaining building in Jefferson that is historically associated with Schweiger Industries, a group of manufacturing concerns that together formed the largest upholstered furniture manufacturing company in Wisconsin during the post-World War II period.
