'''DUMBO Industrial District''' is a historic industrial complex and national [[Historic district (United States)|historic district]] in [[Brooklyn]], [[New York City|New York, New York]]. The complex consists of 95 contributing 19th and early 20th century industrial and warehouse buildings, [[Sett (paving)|Belgian block]] streets, and its location on the [[East River]] by the imposing anchorage of the [[Manhattan Bridge]]. DUMBO is an acronym for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass. Among the manufacturing concerns located in this district were Arbuckle Brothers (coffee and sugar), J.W. Masury & Son (paint), Robert Gair (paper boxes), E.W. Bliss (machinery), and [[Brillo]] (soap pads).
