The site is bordered by Riverside Avenue, McCarter Highway, and Conrail railroad tracks to the west, the Passaic River to the east, additional industry and Riverside Avenue to the north and additional industry to the south. The site is located in a mixed residential and commercial/heavy industrial area. From 1902 to 1971, the property was used for paint and varnish manufacturing by Patton Paint Company, which merged into the Paint and Varnish Division of Pittsburg Plate Glass Company in 1920. The property was used for packaging and manufacturing by numerous companies for more than 100 years. From the 1970s to the present day, the property has been used by various companies for a variety of businesses from chemical packaging to chemical and cosmetics manufacturing. Although this is currently an active industrial park, several portions of the property are abandoned and owned by the City of Newark through foreclosures.
