DEA New York Division Offices

USA / New Jersey / Hoboken / Tenth Avenue, 99
 office building, 1917_construction

131-foot, 10-story office building completed in 1917. Designed by John B. Snook & Sons as a cold-storage warehouse for the Merchants Refrigerating Company. Clad entirely in tan brick, it was once the world’s largest refrigerated warehouse; it was later retrofitted for the High Line rail, which has a siding that used to enter the building. It served this purpose continuously until it was purchased by developers in 1983. Today the top three floors are used by Manhattan Mini-Storage, and the rest holds government offices. In order to make the interiors suitable as offices, windows have been punched through the formerly blank facades.
