The various Tobacco Factory's and their associated T206 T-brand's

More specially the address for the original ALC is 230 Park Avenue South. If you go on Google maps you can even see the American Lithographic Co plague/engraving as you go down Park Avenue South on the street view feature. I get a kick out of "stupid" things like this. I live in NYC and now I've gotta stop by there.

Thanks for the info Ted!

Years ago, my wife and I were at Grand Central Station in NYC. We left the Station on Park Avenue and walked south down to 19th Street to check out
the American Lithographic building.
I was hoping to see some remnants of this great printing firm. Perhaps, a museum room with some impressive lithographic artwork, and even an uncut
sheet (or panel) of Tobacco cards.

What a disappointment, this huge guard at the entrance asked us what was the nature of our visit. I told him of the reason for our visit, he immediately
escorted us out of the building. He probably thought I was some sort of "kook".

I noticed in that short visit inside the building a lot of professional offices. It's shame that a small section of this building wasn't dedicated to a museum.


Anyhow, I didn't leave empty-handed, I snapped this picture of the transom above the front entrance.
