The Collar City, as seen from the Hudson River

Just a couple of days ago we had the River Street view of the Cluett, Peabody & Co., factory, home of Arrow shirts and once the largest shirt factory in the world. Today, from the Library of Congress, a Haines Photo Company image of the Hudson River side of the complex. It’s a broad panorama, and should open up large if you click on it. The Cluett, Peabody buildings on the right are easy to identify, as are the George P. Ide collar factory buildings to the left, but no, I have no idea what the Little Indians Home was. This panorama was made in 1909, when the free flow of industrial effluent into the river was regarded as quite a good thing.
