American Cigar Company, Historic industrial building on the National Register in Trenton, New Jersey.
The American Cigar Company building is a multi-story brick factory in Trenton's Chambersburg neighborhood, erected in 1903 for Albert Gold's firm. It has since been converted into residential lofts, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.
Albert Gold established the American Cigar Company building in Trenton's Chambersburg neighborhood in 1903. By 1931 the factory employed 840 workers. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2011 and has since been converted into residential lofts.
The building was put up in 1903 for Albert Gold's American Cigar Company, and by 1931 it employed 840 workers, mostly Italian immigrants from Chambersburg. The cigar brands named in older descriptions do not appear in the sources, so the workforce itself is what a visitor can trace: the neighbourhood's Italian community grew around factories like this one.
Located at 176 Division Street in the Chambersburg neighborhood, the building has been converted into residential lofts while maintaining its historical architectural integrity and structural elements.
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2011, a century after its 1903 founding by Albert Gold, and it now holds residential lofts rather than cigar-making floors.
