Notes
  • 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.
