Oscar Schmidt Incorporated

The original Oscar Schmidt factory was located at 87-101 Ferry Street in Jersey City, New Jersey. They used the previous address of 36-50 Ferry Street before the streets were renumbered at some point in the teens.

I set out to find where the factory was originally located and what stands there currently

Fate

After Oscar Schmidt shuttered in 1939, the building remained and by 1949 was occupied by the Thos. W. Houchin Corporation

The factory building is no longer standing and condominiums have been built in its place.
