M. Wile and Company Factory Building is a historic garment factory located at Buffalo in Erie County, New York. It is an early and significant example of the "Daylight Factory." The four-story building, erected in 1924, is constructed of reinforced concrete and features curtain walls of metal sash windows. It was home to M. Wile & Company until 1999; a major manufacturer of men's suits, founded by Mayer Wile in Buffalo in 1877. In 1969, the company became a subsidiary of Hartmarx.{{cite web |url=https://cris.parks.ny.gov/ |archive-url=http://webarchive.loc.gov/all/20190404141934/https://cris.parks.ny.gov/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=2019-04-04 |title=Cultural Resource Information System (CRIS) |publisher=New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation |format=Searchable database |accessdate=2016-07-01 }} Note: This includes {{cite web |url=https://cris.parks.ny.gov/Uploads/ViewDoc.aspx?mode=A&id=21902&q=false |title=National Register of Historic Places Registration Form: M.
