About our studio
Originally a residential block, the DUMBO neighborhood developed into a major factory area in the late 1800s-early 1900s. Soon, the manufacturer Edward H. Cole established it as one of the most industrial neighborhoods in the city. This brought in William Taylor & Sons Columbian Iron Works on Adams and Water Street, a sign-making company, a brass foundry, a two-story machine shop, and storage facility for E. W. Bliss and Phillips, Doup & Company. Many of these factories in the area were demolished to make way for the Manhattan Bridge. Luckily, the DUMBO Loft building wasn’t affected by the construction of the bridge and has a long history of manufacturing ironwork and other materials. In 1905, Edward Cole used the factory to make steam fittings then leasing out the property to Phillips, Doup & Company, who built steam heaters. Cole sold the building in 1920 to L&H Stern, manufacturers of smoking pipes and accessories. The simple brick facade, articulated by segmented openings and projecting lintels and sills, marks the DUMBO Loft as an example of the American round arch style. Additionally, the slow-burning mill construction and history make it an amazing representative of American factory architecture – contributing greatly to the character of the DUMBO Historic District. With large windows and the Pearl Street Triangle right outside its open glass doors, the DUMBO loft is an excellent filming location.
This building's old-fashioned exterior contrasts markedly with its state-of-the-art interior, the incredible loft space on the first floor was completed in 1910. This beautiful, historic building has a red brick façade and arched windows. Its windows and roofline are artistically outlined in white. This Buildings location has its benefits of its own, its right next door to the Manhattan Bridge Archway, near great restaurants and shops, and is steps away from a refreshing stroll by the hudson's running path which also passes dumbo's dog park.
