History and architectural features

Built in 1905, this historic structure is a three- to four-story, "U"-shaped, brick building, which is twenty-one bays wide and thirteen bays deep. Erected on a rough limestone foundation, it housed the A.S. Kreider Shoe Manufacturing Company until 1954, after which it was used as a garment factory.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1] The building was remodeled, and is now used for apartment dwellings.
