On 101st south of Rockaway Boulevard, the silent Martian tripod war machine surveyed the small town just before blasting it with a Heat-Ray. (It’s actually a water tower associated with the building shown just below, now festooned with cell phone relayers.)
This was once the Nemo “Medicanical Science” Building, on Rockaway Boulevard between 100th and 101st Streets.
The only clue about the building’s origins are a caduceus, the sword entwined with two snakes, emblematic of the medical profession.
A close look reveals the name of the firm, “Nemo Medicanical Science.”
A look around the internet revealed that Nemo produced corsets, as this newspaper clipping from the Batavia Daily News in 1921 indicates; it also says the firm had been around for 20 years by the publication date.
