  • Studebaker building in New York

    My son lives at 560 Riverside Drive which is right on the edge of Harlem in New York and he says he can see a Studebaker sign from his apartment window. Does any one know if it is just an old dealership or what it may be?

      This building was a Studebaker assembly plant.
      Was built in 1923 or so, sold to Bordens in 1937 for milk
      processing. Now owned by Columbia University who are now
      in the process of restoring it. In fact they just opened a cafe on the
      first floor called....Studebaker Cafe...of course!

          A search brings up 2 previous threads - this one has just about the identical google maps view:
