The site is in a predominantly residential area. A nursing home facility is next to the southwestern corner of the site. Residential homes are both south and east of the site. The Du Quoin State Fairground property is also south of the site. Railroad tracks border the site on the north, and the Du Quoin High School campus is beyond the tracks.
Public water is supplied to the surrounding area, and there are no private wells known to be in use.
The site consists of two main buildings that have housed several companies over the years. A portion of the site is fenced. IEPA files date from 1974 when the Essex Group owned the facility and manufactured barbecue grills. IEPA RCRA records showed solvents generated by the manufacturing processes included paint cleaners, petroleum hydrocarbons, paint, and caustic strippers. In 1988, Turco sold part of the facility to the Blazon Flexible Flyer Company, which manufactured snow sleds.
