"Thomson Meter Co. seems to have been located in this building from the late 1890's until 1909 when they relocated their Brooklyn factory to 100 Bridge St. 100-110 Bridge St. is a landmarked building with beautiful terra cotta at the top of the facade. The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission report, LP-2139 (2004) for 100-110 Bridge St. can be read at (visit link) Guide to New York City Landmarks, 4th edition (2009), says, "Thompson Meter Company Building, 100-110 Bridge Street (Louis E. Jallade, 1908-09), designated 2004. This building is an early example of reinforced concrete structure on which the concrete surface is both exposed and adorned. Jallade, a Canadian-born architect-engineer who studied at the École des Beaux Arts, used tapestry brickwork and colorful glazed terra cotta to embellish the four-story arcades. Sold in 1927, the building was used for nearly four decades to manufacture Eskimo Pies, the first American chocolate-covered ice cream bar"
