Eastman Kodak Office on State Street

The façade of Eastman’s company buildings advertised the latest products. This building dates from around 1890, when the Eastman Company was selling the Kodak camera and other photographic materials. Eastman was adept at marketing and advertising, and even from early on, he had the company’s logo and products painted on every truck and train used for distribution, as well as on his office and manufacturing buildings.
