Manhattan Mini-Storage

USA / New Jersey / Hoboken / West 21st Street, 510-520
 storage, 1928_construction
8-story self-storage building completed in 1928. Designed by George S. Kingsley as a warehouse for Morgan & Brother Company. The building was purposefully made of reinforced concrete for marketing purposes: Morgan & Brother broadcasted the “fireproof” nature of their new facility. This new warehouse was also a strategic business move, placing the firm closer to major train routes and piers where goods arrived from abroad. The company stored foreign items awaiting customs inspection as well as trunks and baggage for arriving travelers, unsure of future plans. It was sold in 1994 and is currently operated by Manhattan Mini-Storage.
