EAGLE CLOTHING FACTORY SIGN
6th Street and 4th Avenue
1951
This sign hovers above what was once the Eagle Clothing Factory, which moved to Gowanus and built a brand-new factory here in 1951. The factory had many modern amenities such as adequate space and lighting, air-conditioning and a recreational roof garden. The company owned this property until 1989, and the sign remains as it has been for 60 years in this neighborhood.
The sign was removed in 2013.
