28-38 W Rock St

From the National Register nomination

Large two-story building erected in two principal phases. The west end dates to the 1930s, presumably the late 1930s, and has a steel frame structure with cinder block "apron" walls with stretcher-bond buff brick (or concrete brick) veneer. The east end dates to the late 1940s or early 1950s and has cinder block walls with stretcher-bond and American-bond red brick. Both sections have concrete foundations, façade piers, industrial metal-frame windows, and a shed roof (at least over the west end). Other features include stretcher-bond and American-bond brick and partly collapsed cinder block rear additions (post-1960), seams and brick color changes on the east end that may indicate as many as three phases of construction, and a door sign reading "Lovingston Mfg. Co. #2." The Metro Pants Co. built the original west end of this building in the 1930s. By 1955 it had been acquired by the Sancar Corp. (also "San-Car"), manufacturers of women's slips and lingerie, which added the east end in one or more phases.
