Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company, says Wikipedia, "was part of the famed American Tobacco Company and housed in a row of New York City Buildings 200 feet long and 100 feet deep and 4 stories high from 515 to 525 West 22nd Street. At the 513 address was a salesroom and at 529 was a 5-story building of the packing department. The building was built by Kinney Brothers in 1888 after moving from West Broadway. Kinney Brothers was known to be able to manufacture 18,000,000 cigarettes weekly.
On October 6, 1892, the entire building was gutted by a five-alarm fire." Continued
