George F. Pelham designed the six-story factory at 93 Crosby Street, built in 1894-95 for Louisa Friedland. Its heavy massing, deeply recessed windows, angled brick spandrels and round-arched top-floor openings are characteristic of the Romanesque Revival style applied to modest commercial buildings. The north bays were later sealed with brick and an elevator bulkhead added on the roof.
