During the 1920′s Harlem’s Manhattanville of West Harlem (135th St to the north, 125th St to the south, Amsterdam Ave to the east, and west to the Hudson River) boasted a commercial waterfront, stables, warehouses, icehouses, and factories. A rail station and ferry terminal, and then the IRT subway station, helped spur industrial growth, and commerce and transportation converged in a thriving waterfront.
In addition, automobile manufacturers established operations in Manhattanville during the sametime, the Warren Nash Service Center buildings still stand today. Pictured is Mr. Warren owner of the Warren-Nash Motor Corp., with the 400 Series, the 100,000th Car.
Today Warren Nash building is part of the Columbia University’s master plan for their Manhattanville Campus.
