Their factory was destroyed in the 1904 Baltimore Fire, causing them to relocate to 875 Hollins St. At the time, the building was occupied by the John Cowan livery stable and hall.

Lion Brothers purchased the livery building in 1911, roughly the same time that all operations were concentrated on Hollins Street and the company was no longer producing finished clothing, but instead specializing in embroidered emblems.

This location had several advantages: (1) it was removed from the heavily built up downtown area that had suffered the devastating 1904 fire; (2) an ample working-class labor pool surrounded the factory; (3) it was close to the factory's owners’ residences located in the vicinity of Eutaw Place; and (4) the production of embroidered emblems and insignias was a distinct specialty that did not require immediate proximity to other garment-related businesses.

Lion Brothers also purchased four sixteen-ton Sauer power looms for the enlarged facility for $72,000, nearly three times the cost of the new building.

The prominent Baltimore architectural firm Smith & May designed the new building, which was built by the Price Construction Company at an estimated cost of $25,000 and was ready for occupancy in June 1920.

By that time, the company was the largest manufacturer of embroidered emblems in the world and employed 250 people, and remained under the ownership of the Lion family.
