NYFE Summary
The basement once held boilers and a large steam engine that drove electric generators. Cables carried power to nearby printing houses, jewelers and leather workshops, where electric motors ran machinery.
A broad arch rises above the old metal company sign. Deep brick arches and bands of molded red tiles continue along the front. These details remain from a building that supplied the surrounding industrial neighborhood.
