I believe that the entry meant he worked at T.-H. E. Co., which is the Thomson-Houston Electric Company, and roomed at the Boscobel block, suite 5, which is probably this building

The Thomson-Houston Electric Company merged with Edison Electric Co of New York, to form General Electric:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomson-Houston_Electric_Company
