Worcester Corset Company Factory
Worcester Corset Company Factory, Industrial heritage site in Main South, Worcester, United States.
The factory building at 30 Wyman Street features a Romanesque design with large windows, red brick walls, and multiple expansions added between 1895 and 1909.
David Hale Fanning established the Worcester Corset Company in 1861, transforming his skirt hoop business into a major corset manufacturing operation that employed 2000 women.
The factory represented the evolution of women's fashion manufacturing in New England, marking the transition from traditional skirt hoops to modern undergarment production.
The former industrial complex now functions as an apartment building, offering residential spaces while maintaining its original architectural character from the 19th century.
The factory's manufacturing operations shifted from corsets to military boots in 1940, adapting to changing market demands during wartime production needs.
