Following the Panic of 1893, and the death in March 1893 of company president Edward Gilbert, son of Uri Gilbert,[8] the company entered receivership in August 1893.[13][14][9][15] Only a few months earlier, Gilbert had completed construction of a hundred cars for New York Central Railroad passenger trains.[16] Then in 1895, the company stopped building rail cars.[1] Upon closure, the plant value was estimated at $400,000 (equivalent to $14,070,400 in 2022).[17] In 1899, the plant was rumored to be the target of acquisition for conversion into an automobile manufacturing facility.[18][19]
