A two-story brick building was built in 1912 and a four-story brick, concrete and steel building in 1918, both designed by engineer Paul S. Schmidt.","why_significant":"The plant is significant under Criterion A for the company's progressive management attitudes toward workers in the 1910s and 1920s. It is also tied to the 'Globe Doctrine,' set by the National Labor Relations Board in 1937, which let workers decide their own union representation and is still cited in U.S. labor law. The nomination argues the buildings retain a high degree of integrity.","narrative":"Two connected factory buildings at 1250 West 76th Street in Cleveland make up the former Globe Machine & Stamping Company plant. A two-story brick building with a monitor roof went up in 1912, and a four-story concrete-frame and brick building followed in 1918, linked by second-floor bridges. Engineer Paul S. Schmidt designed both. The company made metal parts for other manufacturers, including the automobile industry, and did custom stamping and sheet metal work. Under general manager Albert F. Schroeder, it promoted community gardening, created a Globe Social Club for workers, and took part in an industrial association meant to discuss labor and capital. In 1937 a dispute over which union should represent its workers went to the National Labor Relations Board, producing the 'Globe Doctrine' on employee choice in bargaining representation. The plant operated until 1955 under the Hupp Corporation. Original windows, structural systems and an inglenook from the social club survive.","period_of_significance":"1912-1955","architect_builder":"Paul S.
