Harlem Bespoke: We colorized an image circa 1893 which shows the Joseph Loth Fair & Square Ribbon Factory as it stood fully constructed at 151st Street and Amsterdam Avenue in Hamilton Heights.
The central clock tower was one of the most distinctive features of the building but it no longer exists today because of a fire back in 1916. Manufacturing was a big part of business uptown by the turn of the last century but the factory owner eventually sold off the building by 1928. In more recent years, a successful charter school has established itself in the top floor space and appears to be doing quite well these days:
