| former Colgate factory Jeffersonville, IN |
|
 |
 |
| The main building of the Colgate factory was built in 1890. It had been previously used as a prison. Colgate moved into the building in 1921 and began soap production. An addition shown in the photos above was built in the 1940s for office space. Colgate moved in 2008 and I believe this building as well as the main one are still vacant. The property is best known for the other former Colgate building with the huge neon clock. [map] |

It officially closed as a train station in 1970 when Amtrak moved their operations elsewhere in South Bend. The station is now used by Global Access Point, an off-site computer data center.
