    P. & G. Lorillard, the tobacco firm, began a brick factory here in 1867, designed by J. B. Snook. The building has six bays, an iron storefront and cornice, and stone banding, and it is also addressed as 65-67 Wooster Street. Over the years some ground-floor windows were filled in and the cornice was cut to make room for a fire escape.
