Pitkin Glassworks Ruin
Pitkin Glassworks Ruin, Industrial archaeological site in Manchester, Connecticut
The stone ruins include walls measuring 40 feet on each side, constructed with grey granite stones that reach two feet in thickness.
William and Elisha Pitkin established the East Hartford Glass Works in 1783 after receiving a 25-year monopoly from Connecticut for glass manufacturing.
The factory production focused on green glass items, including demijohns for West Indies trade, inkwells, pitchers, and various household containers.
The ruins stand at the intersection of Parker and Putnam Streets, with remains of stone walls and archaeological elements visible from public roads.
The east wall contains four arched openings at ground level with rectangular windows above, while the west wall features a single arch configuration.
