Wilcox, Crittenden Mill, Industrial heritage site in Middletown, United States.
The mill complex spans 17 acres along Pameacha Creek, featuring four substantial brick buildings constructed between 1814 and 1917 with masonry architecture.
Founded in 1857, the factory initially produced brass grommets for sails and later expanded to manufacture marine hardware for the United States Navy during both World Wars.
The Wilcox Crittenden manufacturing legacy represents the industrial development of Connecticut, transforming from textile production to specialized marine equipment manufacturing.
Three of the four original mill buildings now function as residential spaces, with Mills A and B converted to condominiums and Mill C serving as low-income housing.
The factory maintained continuous operation after a devastating 1907 fire, rebuilding its facilities without losing customers or dismissing employees during the reconstruction period.
