An important piece of Endicott's history is visible for the first time in several decades as demolition continues at the old IBM manufacturing complex.

Gorick Construction has been in the process of removing several unused buildings along North Street over the past three months.

As crews move from east to west, the original Bundy Manufacturing Company building that had been surrounded by newer structures has been revealed.

Bundy was a forerunner of what eventually became International Business Machines.

According to The Binghamton Press, construction on the original building began in October 1904. The newspaper said the plant would manufacture the Bundy adding machine.

An article stated the plant "will give Endicott one of her most promising and attractive industries yet located there." The factory was expected to employ "100 expert workmen." Production at the plant started in August 1905.

Demolition work of the vacant IBM buildings east of McKinley Avenue started December 31.

Chris Pelto, who oversees the Huron Campus property for Phoenix Investors, on Friday said the project of removing the old IBM structures is continuing to move ahead smoothly.

After all of the derelict buildings have been torn down and the demolition debris has been removed, a 10-acre shovel-ready site will be available for future development.
