One of the most interesting things about being a historian in the community I grew up in – to me, at least – is stumbling upon information about places and things that I’ve seen my entire life. There is so much history in our area that it’s impossible for any one person to know it all (though there are quite a few folks who know very, very much, and I’m grateful for their insights and information-sharing). One such landmark that I’ve seen nearly every day since my childhood is the G. Levor & Co. smokestack on Woodside Ave. in Gloversville. I always thought it was the “Evor & Co.,” because the top of the chimney was long ago destroyed. I even was in there several times – my aunt was a long time employee of Lee Dyeing Company, which occupied the building. As an adult, I’ve particularly loved the gorgeous house at 23 Prospect Ave. I was surprised to discover these two landmarks were related: the home was built, and belonged to, Gustav Levor and his family.
Gustav Levor was born in Germany in 1847. He immigrated to New York in July 1866, living in NYC before moving to Gloversville. The Jewish population in Gloversville began to grow beginning in the mid-19th century. The first Jewish settler in the city was Nathan Littauer. His son Lucius, the first Jewish baby born there, went on to become one of the city’s most ardent supporters, giving its citizens a hospital, public pool, and many other contributions to the community.
Levor worked as a haberdasher and opened a men’s clothing store in the Windsor building on E. Fulton and S. Main Streets. In the basement of that building, he began experimenting with tanning processes. Levor then opened his own leather business on the corner of Bleecker and Green Streets (now W. 8th Ave.) in 1877. It was a “small shop and practically no machinery,” according to Washington Frothingham in his History of Fulton and Montgomery Counties. After a year in this location, Levor moved into the building of an old business on Sand Hill and purchased their machinery. In 1884, he built his new factory on Woodside Ave. on property he purchased from John McNabb. Levor’s factory was most known for the Dongola shoe leather it produced, which was made from African antelope.

Levor & Co. was an incredibly successful business, having offices in Boston and New York City as well as Gloversville. And Levor was good to his employees. On January 2, 1892, he hosted a celebration to mark the opening of the new office built at the factory. The employees, boss masons and carpenters, and nearly 150 other invited guests were in attendance. Live music was provided by Case’s Orchestra and the affair was catered by LH Moore of the Windsor Hotel; the 7 course dinner with wine was followed by dancing until 2am. The building itself was remarkable as well: two stories with bathroom, cloakrooms, steam heaters, and lighting that cost Levor nearly $100 to install. The office was connected to the main building by a covered bridge. The Daily Leader covered the event, reporting: “Much credit is due Mr. Levor for the success he has sustained in his business and the manner in which he treats his employees. He well deserves all that he enjoys.”
Not only was Levor a leader in business, he was also a leader within the community and a family man. He married in 1882, and soon Louise and Gustav started a family. They built their family home on 23 Prospect Avenue in Gloversville. The Queen Anne style home still stands today and is in excellent condition. Gustav was involved with the foundation of the synagogue in Gloversville; the new house of worship was built on East Fulton Street where the Elm Street Park is now located – it opened in 1906 and Levor was presented with the key. From the Morning Herald: “The dedication of the temple marks a new epoch in the life of the Hebrew residents of this city and vicinity, and too much credit cannot be bestowed upon those who have given liberally of their time and means in making the erection of the temple possible.”

Gustav helped to organize the Manufacturers and Merchants Bank, which eventually became City National Bank. He was a charter member of the Mechanic’s Hook and Ladder Company in Gloversville, started in 1877, and the Elks Club in 1892. He was a board member for the FJ&G Railroad and a stockholder and director of the Glen Phone Company. Levor was both a trustee and donor for the Nathan Littauer Hospital. Levor was also a member of the Eccentric Club.
In 1903, the first wireless message received in Gloversville was sent by Gustav on September 18th from the steamship Augusta Victoria off the coast of Sagaponak on Long Island. The message said the Levors, who had been away in Europe, would land on the morning of the 19th and be home that evening and that all were well. The message was transmitted from the ship to the wireless station by the Marconi system and forwarded to Gloversville by post.
The Levors moved to New York City in 1906. Gustav left the care of his company with his son-in-law, Samuel Rothschild. Gustav died in 1921. His wife, Louise, passed in 1954, living to age 92. Gustav’s story actually isn’t as uncommon in 19th and 20th century Gloversville, where immigrants flocked to find work in the booming leather industry, and many of them built their own incredibly successful businesses. Samuel Goldfish, a Polish immigrant, began by sweeping floors in a factory, worked his way to vice-president of sales, and then went off to Hollywood, changed his name to Samuel Goldwyn, and became an early tycoon in the film industry. Junius Meyer Schine was born in Latvia and became a theater magnate, establishing the Glove as the flagship theater in his company. Levor was another Gloversville success story, committed to the booming industry and improving the lives of the city’s citizens.
