DUMBO Industrial District is a historic industrial complex and national historic district in Brooklyn, New York, New York. The complex consists of 95 contributing 19th and early 20th century industrial and warehouse buildings, 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). The district includes the earliest, large scale reinforced concrete factory buildings in America.^[2]
