Significance: The ten-story office building at 105 Hudson Street served as the corporate headquarters of Colgate & Company from 1910 to 1930, and of Colgate-Palmolive- Peet from 1933 to 1956. Located in the Exchange Place area of Jersey City, the structure was immedi- ately north of the company's large Jersey City manu- facturing plant, managed from the office building before and after the corporate headquarters moved to Manhattan in 1956. The steel-framed, masonry- clad building is characteristic of early 20th century institutional design which utilized classical fea- tures, and is one of several such structures built in the Exchange Place area at this time. Most classi- cized features on the original eight story building were confined to exterior masonry, and some vestibule and lobby features. When recorded in 1987, the exte- rior survived intact, with the addition of two sto- ries built 1933-34.
