Notes
  • Significance: B-15 was significant as the first toilet soap factory built by Colgate & Company in Jersey City, and as one of the earliest structures at the Jersey City plant which survived in 1988. It was used predominantly for toilet soap finishing c1855-1986, and also housed early plant electric lighting facilities before World War I. Located in the Exchange Place area of Jersey City, the structure was part of B Block, the plant's historic core. The brick-bearing building was characteristic of mid- to third-quarter 19th-century industrial design which utilized Romanesque Revival features, and was the only structure of its kind built along the east side of Greene Street at this time. Decorative features on the multi-section four-story building were confined to the exterior masonry, and included a granite basement level, round- and segmentally-arched window openings, and a brick entablature. B-15 was built in several stages, and modified as the plant needs dictated. It was demolished in 1989.
