Former site of Forbes Lithographic Co. During their years of operation, Forbes manufactured wrappers, labels, and 'invasion money' during World War II. The ground is currently contaminated by 'ink waste' and 18 toxic metals most likely from the lithographic process.
An attempt to redevelop the site into condos (cf: the Wikipedia article) seems to have faltered.
