Park Avenue, Indianapolis Glove Company Factory Parking Lot, Lockerbie Square, Indianapolis, c. 1968 , View of east elevation, Little Sisters of the Poor, Home for the aged poor, (St. Augustine Home for the Aged), Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana (Indiana Landmarks) No Indianapolis Glove Company Factory <br>420-430 North Park Avenue <br>1909-1916 <br>This factory was constructed in 1910 as the home of the Indianapolis Glove Coapany. It was built on the site of a commercial building and a house. The house and open land were part of the site of the earlier St. Vincents infirmary. This factory is an historic building in Lockerbie Square. Its construction represents the beginning of the decline of the area as residential in the early twentieth century. Other industrial buildings were constructed on all streets around the original Lockerbie Square. The factory is constructed of brick with steel frame construction. The Indianapolis Glove Company was founded in 1904 by Charles F. Zwick and Brodehurst Elsey and originally was located in the Century Building at Pennsylvania and Georgia Streets. The original 1910 character of the factory survives unaltered and was respected in the 1923 extension to the south and the addition of the sixth story in 1933. In 1969 the company was ranked third in the national glove-making industry, producing more than 600 kinds of gloves for nearly every industrial work situation. The company vacated its original building in 1982. On April 5, 1982 the rehabilitation of the factory and grounds was announced. Sixty-two condominium units were created in the space of the factory, renamed the Lockerbie Glove Company Condominiums. Renovation was completed in 1984. The architectural firm of Archonics designed the condominiums. <br>Lockerbie Square Historic Area Preservation Plan, 1987 multi-family dwelling
