The most significant of Bethune, Bethune & Fuchs’ factories from the 19th Century, the Buffalo Weaving and Belting Company Factory became a major industrial zone at the turn of the century. Located in North Buffalo, Chandler Street borders the historic Black Rock neighborhood and, more importantly in the late 1800s, the Beltline of the New York State Railroad.

The Flemish Renaissance Revival Style one-story brick structure was typical of 19th century factory design in that it was composed of one very long and narrow structure, which was the most economical to build and allowed for the most natural light.
