description

Summary

Significance: The eight-story industrial structure at 85-99 Hudson Street was significant as the first reinforced concrete structure built in Jersey City, and ad the base of the two great Colgate clocks erected in 1908 and 1924. Located near the Exchange Place area of Jersey City, the structure anchored the east end of B Block, the historic core of the Jersey City manufacturing plant. Begun during the firm's centennial year of 1906, the reinforced concrete building had classicized proportions and ornament, and height, color, and circular-headed eighth-floor windows similar to those of the office building immediately to its north (HAER No. NJ-71-A). Colgate & Company designated each half of the structure built in two closely-spaced episodes as a separate building, but in structure, design, and interior spaces B-7/B-8 was a single building used for a variety of manufacturing, research, and management purposes c1908-88.

Smithsonian exhibits model of new cultural center for Samoan Islanders. Washington, D.C., Nov. 15. Down in the Island of American Samoa the natives quite firmly believe that no white man can master their architecture and manner of construction without glue, pegs, or nails. Lt. Comdr. P.J. Halloran, U.S.N. assigned to the island, set about studying their methods of construction by tying all members of the building together with grass rope, and became so thoroughly familiar with it that he supervised construction of a native library for the islanders. Since way back, construction of buildings has been done in Samoa by members of a guild known as Agaiotupu, and so well did Comdr. Halloran learn the business that he was made a member of the Guild. Here is Iris Lou Sinnett, Secretary in the Office of the National Collection of Fine Arts admiring a model of the 84 foot building which has been placed on exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution here
