NYFE Summary

This manufacturing building gave commercial lofts an unusually detailed street front. Tall groups of windows rise through several floors before ending in broad brick arches. Short sandstone columns and polished granite bases support the lower part of the facade.

Dark brick piers contrast with lighter upper walls. Carved sandstone blocks break up the larger surfaces, and a deep metal cornice finishes the roofline. The corner gives a view of the different window patterns on both streets.
