Camden, NJ Building 17, RCA Victor Company, Camden Plant

Building 17, RCA Victor Company, Camden Plant (also known as the Nipper Building) was constructed in 1909 for the Victor Talking Machine Company for the construction of victrola cabinets. It was designed by Ballinger & Perrot. The tower was noted for its four stained glass windows depicting Nipper the dog. These windows were removed by RCA when they did away with the victrola and dog as their trademark in 1969. The company replaced the windows in 1979, but by 1986 they had fallen into disrepair again. They were replaced again in 2003 when the building was converted into condominiums. The building is on the National Register of Historic Places #02001253 and also in the National Register listed Cooper-Grant historic district #87002229.
