Heywood-Wakefield Company Complex
Heywood-Wakefield Company Complex, Industrial heritage site in Gardner, United States.
The Heywood-Wakefield Company Complex encompasses multiple brick buildings across 12.5 acres, stretching from Lake Street to Cross Street in Gardner.
The complex originated in 1826 when the Heywood brothers established a chair manufacturing business, which later merged with Wakefield Rattan Company in 1897.
The factory buildings represent the evolution of American furniture manufacturing, reflecting industrial architecture from the late nineteenth century in Massachusetts.
The complex, located at 206 Central Street, contains several repurposed structures that demonstrate the adaptation of industrial spaces for modern purposes.
Following a devastating fire in 1860, the complex rebuilt in 1863 with enhanced facilities, marking a pivotal moment in Gardner's manufacturing development.
