Patch Asks: Where in the Oranges Is It?
The photo was taken where South Orange, West Orange and Orange meet
Readers know the area well, scoring big and answering quickly when Patch has asked previously, "Where in the Oranges Is It?"
This one is not just a where, but a what, since it's an important site historically and in terms of area industry. In addition, it's visible daily to commuters, especially heading into Newark or Manhattan.
That's a lot of hints! Comment below to tell us where (and what) in the Oranges it is!

This is an old watch factory on S. Jefferson St. in Orange, between Central Ave. and New England Terrace, right across from the elevated NJ Transit train tracks near Highland Ave. Station. The shiny circle on the side of the building used to be a clock face. I'd pass by the building every day when I commuted to Seton Hall University from West Orange in the late 1970s. It was once a very good example of an art deco factory building, but as you can see from the photos, it's now quite in disrepair.
