Technology History | IBM — The Bundy Building on North Street, Endicott
kevin
People treat IBM as an Armonk campus that arrived already named Big Blue.
The holding company that became IBM was seated here, at the International Time Recording works on North Street in Endicott, New York, when Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company was incorporated on 16 June 1911.
Harlow Bundy had moved his time-recorder plant from Binghamton into a new three-storey brick building on this street in 1906. The sign over the door read International Time Recording Co. Locals still called it the Bundy Building. Charles R. Flint folded that firm with Herman Hollerith's Tabulating Machine Company and the Computing Scale Company of America into C-T-R. Headquarters went to Endicott. Factories stayed where they already stood — Dayton, Detroit, Washington, Toronto.
Thomas J. Watson arrived in 1914. The name International Business Machines was put on the door in 1924. The Endicott yards grew around the original brick box: laboratories, a school, more plants. The old cluster later sat at 1701–1803 North Street.
Armonk is not the first pin. This North Street brick plant is the address C-T-R chose when the merger closed.
