Mac Lac Shellac was an early 20th-century shellac manufacturer that during the 1920s and 1930s (as shellac was utilized on more products) grew through a number of mergers. They had their headquarters at 80 Cliff Street before moving to 127 Maiden Lane. The streets depicted here, Cliff Street from Ferry Street, no longer exist. They were demapped in the 1950s and 1960s for the Brooklyn Bridge-Southwest Urban Renewal. Today the former location of this section of Cliff Street is on the land occupied by the Southbridge Towers.
