Historic Map - Collinsville, CT - 1878
Description
View of Collinsville, Conn. O. H. Bailey & Co. Publishers, Boston.
An 1878 birds-eye view of Collinsville, CT, a charming New England factory town that is in the southwestern part of Canton. The map was published by the famous O. H. Bailey Co. of Boston. The Collins Company buildings are shown along the banks of the Farmington River, which supplied its power, as well as the maze of sluices that the company used for their many industrial needs. The Collins Company became the largest manufacturer of axes in the 19th century, supplying edge tools to customers throughout the world. Many of the houses and businesses shown on the map were owned by the Collins Company. About 26 of the original factory buildings remain today, retaining their historical charm. Today, one of these buildings, at 11 Front Street, houses the Canton Historical Museum.
