Rockwood Chocolate Factory Historic District
Rockwood Chocolate Factory Historic District, Industrial historic district in Wallabout, Brooklyn, United States.
The complex includes 16 interconnected buildings constructed between 1891 and 1928, featuring red brick facades and Renaissance Revival architectural elements across 1.8 acres.
The district operated as Rockwood & Company chocolate manufacturing facility until 1957, employing numerous workers and producing confections during Brooklyn's industrial growth period.
The buildings demonstrate the transformation of manufacturing spaces into residential units while maintaining the original architectural features of late 19th-century industrial design.
Located near Washington and Park avenues, the complex contains multiple five-story structures that now function as loft apartments with preserved historical characteristics.
On May 12, 1919, the factory experienced an industrial incident resulting in $75,000 in damages, marking a significant event in its operational history.
