Southington Cutlery Factory

The Southington Cutlery Factory, listed in the National Register of Historic Places, is significant as one of Southington’s leading industries as a well-preserved complex that illustrates the evolution of industrial architecture from the 1870s to the early 20th century. The property is the only mill left near the center of Southington, connecting the two primary residential neighborhoods. The rehabilitation serves as a catalyst for future development in the area, addressing the unmet needs within the surrounding neighborhood, by creating a mixed-use building downtown, providing apartment housing targeted towards young professionals. The project consists primarily of tenant fit-outs for residential and retail use.
