From the National Register write-up.
"Constructed in 1927-28 for the General Cigar Company, the building was designed by New York City based architect Albert Freeman. General Cigar Company was one of the country's largest cigar manufacturers. Opening this factory in Binghamton was a tremendous boost to the local economy...The building was purchased by the nationally prominent Ansco camera and film company in 1937. During this pre-World War II era, the Ansco company was at the height of its growth and technical prowess...the last major addition added in 1950... steel frame and reinforced concrete"
