Oxley, Giddings & Enos were a very successful gas light manufacturing company in New York. They specialized in ornate brass and bronze chandeliers and wall lighting, creating many of the fixtures no doubt installed in the nearby row houses of Fort Greene and Clinton Hill. The company had a factory and showroom on Canal Street, in Manhattan, which soon proved too small, and in 1886, they commissioned a large factory to be built on Carlton Avenue, stretching along Flushing Avenue in the Wallabout neighborhood. Wallabout was one of Brooklyn's earliest commercial districts, and the nearby streets are full of factory and warehouse buildings, catering to all kinds of industries, from machine shops to food manufacturing and storage, to businesses catering to the nearby Navy Yard.
