Historic Map - Waterbury, CT - 1917
Description
View of Waterbury, Conn. 1917.
Reproduction map of the community known as Waterbury, CT, by T. M. Fowler, published by Hughes & Fowler in 1917. The city of Waterbury lies along the banks of the Naugatuck River. The land, once considered non-arable by settlers, became prime real estate for industries of many sorts in the 1800's. Known as "Brass City", Waterbury had several industrial interests. They began manufacturing brass using a technology borrowed from the British, and lured skilled craftsmen from overseas to use their talents in town. The Waterbury Clock Company buildings were constructed in 1857. By 1900, the company employed 3,000 workers and was producing 20,000 clocks and watches per day. They would later produce the "Mickey Mouse" watch, and today, after trading hands and with name changes, the Waterbury Clock Co. is known as Timex Group USA. The Apothecary Building, built in 1893 at the corner of South Main and Bank Streets, would soon become the hub of Exchange Place. The elite Hotel Elton opened in 1905 introducing its "Ideal Tour" to cater to the new automobile tourists. The Union Station Clocktower was built in 1909 and modeled after the Torre del Mangia located in the Palazzo Publico of Siena, Italy. The clocktower stands at 240 feet with a clock made by Seth Thomas Co. In 1915, the new City Hall building was erected on Grand Avenue. Waterbury was all abuzz in 1917 as locals Mr. & Mrs. Irving Chase's daughter wed President Taft's son Charles.
