Yale-Cady Octagon House and Yale Lock Factory Site
Yale-Cady Octagon House and Yale Lock Factory Site, Industrial heritage site and house from 1849 in Newport, New York, United States.
The Yale-Cady Octagon House features eight sides with Italianate architectural elements, including overhanging eaves, paired brackets, and a prominent cupola.
Linus Yale Sr. built this house for his daughter Chlothilda and her husband Ira L. Cady, while operating the adjacent lock factory that revolutionized security mechanisms.
The property represents mid-19th century American architectural preferences and industrial innovation through its octagonal design and connection to lock manufacturing developments.
Located at 7550 North Main Street, the property contains both the preserved octagonal residence and remnants of the original Yale Lock Factory.
The site combines residential architecture with industrial heritage, marking the birthplace of cylinder lock technology that transformed security systems worldwide.
