The site is situated within 5 blocks from two of the most vibrant centers in Queens. The building was one of the factories used by Conrad Poppenhusen in the 1800s to manufacture rubber products. It was later utilized by the IB Kleinert’s Rubber Co., before becoming the Gelmart building. It was eventually occupied by a private storage facility, but has been vacant for several years.
