Bush Terminal Company Building was a loft structure located on the southwestern Brooklyn, New York waterfront, which was built in the spring of 1911. Its construction coincided with an improvement in the industrial region south of the 39th Street ferry, between 1st Avenue and 2nd Avenue.〔 The property on which the edifice was erected was purchased in part from the New York Dock Company for $30,000,000.〔''City's Plan To Buy Brooklyn Bay Front'', New York Times, March 27, 1911, pg. 16.〕 The building's completion was part of a plan long contemplated by the company's president Irving T. Bush. It was eight stories tall with three distinct buildings connected in U-shaped manner. The primary structure possessed a common court for the main structure with wings. The court had a frontage of 460 feet on Second Avenue. Its wings ran from 2nd Avenue along 39th Street and 40th Street. It extended 335 feet each to a private street located off the bulkheads. The court measured 210 feet by 55 feet. The industrial colony on the Brooklyn waterfront began to feature loft establishments, with the Bush Terminal Company erecting structures like this on both sides of Second Avenue.〔''Bush Terminal Co. Putting Up A Great Loft Building'', New York Times, April 12, 1911, pg. 6.〕 In April 1911 five manufacturing and wholesale businesses relocated to the industrial colony established by the Bush Terminal Company. They were the Union Stove Works, the William Wrigley Jr. Company, the Boyd Steel Spring Company, the Cummings Machine Company, and A.C. Agar & Co.〔''The Real Estate Field; Removals to Bush Terminal Lofts'', New York Times, April 18, 1911, pg. 16.〕 == See also == * Bush Terminal – Industry City 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bush Terminal Company Building」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
