    Borden's Condensed Milk Company, founded in 1857, commissioned the building at 106-110 Hudson Street in 1902-04. George Howard Chamberlin designed it and the Andrew J. Robinson Co. built it, replacing five smaller buildings. The Landmarks Preservation Commission says Borden's pioneered the mass distribution of milk and eventually became the world's largest dairy producer. The ten stories run 66 feet along Hudson Street and 75 along Franklin Street.
