Gair Building No. 7 (Clocktower) in DUMBO![Gair Building No. 7 (Clocktower) in DUMBO by Andrea [bah! la realtà!].](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3159/2307518684_1171231a34.jpg) The Clocktower building in DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass), built 1915 as part of a big cardboard company (Mr Gair actually invented corrugated cardboard, it seems); at the time of its construction, it was the largest concrete cast building in the US.
Now converted into upscale lofts.

I have no idea at all what that building is,
but it's interesting. I'm sure it has a
complicated history and those windows were
opened at different times, it's not clear
what the plan is.
I think so too! thanks for stopping by
Finding location...

I like that clock! What's there at the top of the building? The roof space has lots of windows.
