Description

In Carriages and Clocks, Corsets and Locks, the editors and contributors trace the upward thrust and fall of New Haven, Connecticut, as an industrial city. Carriages and Clocks, Corsets and Locks explores the origins, preservation, reclamation, and reuse of the extant industrial sites and firmly iterates a unique sense of place for up to date citizens of this postindustrial city. Five scholarly narrative essays interpret specific sites, and detailed historical profiles are included for sixteen selected industrial sites positioned on or near New Haven’s harbor, including the Quinnipiac Brewery and the Candee Rubber Company. Multiple hundred illustrations depict historical and up to date views of sites, the products manufactured there, and New Haven’s working people. Maps and tables illustrate the progress of the city’s urban development from the seventeenth during the mid-twentieth century. In keeping with number one source material including land and fire department records, city directories, newspaper articles, maps, and personal accounts, this book is the culmination of the Industrial Heritage Project of the New Haven Preservation Accept as true with’s mission to judge and document the city’s historic industrial sites and to supply educational and advocacy programs for preservation efforts.
