In 1894, Parrish & Bingham constructed a small two story factory at the corner of Madison Avenue and West 106th Street to manufacture parts for trolleys, wagons and bicycles. With the advent of the automobile the plant switched to making automobile frames and axles. Following rapid expansion, the firm merged with Detroit based Detroit Pressed Steel in 1923 to form Midland Steel Products and with Ross Engineering in 1957 to form Midland Ross.
In the 1960s, the automobile industry introduced the unitized body and Midland Ross refocused on producing frames for trucks and buses. By 1976, it was one of only four frame manufacturers remaining in the U.S. Following attempts to diversify, the plant was closed in the 1970s and later demolished.
