Quinebaug Mill – Quebec Square Historic District

The Quinebaug Mill district features brick worker housing units arranged in rows along the Quinebaug River, Elm Street, and South Main Street.

Established in 1851 by Amos D. Lockwood, the Quinebaug Mill developed into one of Connecticut's largest cotton manufacturing facilities by the late 19th century.

The architectural elements of the district display the evolution of industrial housing designs from Greek Revival to Queen Anne styles of the 1800s.

The residential section contains six brick row houses with eight apartments each, renovated in 1984 to provide affordable housing options.

The preserved weave shed and surrounding Quebec village represent a complete industrial community layout from the textile manufacturing era.
