Royal Typewriter Company Building, Industrial mill building in Parkville, Hartford, US.
The Royal Typewriter Company building stretched along New Park Avenue with seven wide pavilions extending toward the street, featuring brick walls and Victorian architecture.
Constructed in 1907, this manufacturing facility produced typewriters until 1972, marking Hartford's position as a leading center of typewriter production with Underwood Company.
The structure represented late 19th-century industrial design with Gothic crenellations, decorated towers, and traditional load-bearing construction methods recognized by the National Register.
The former factory site at 150 New Park Avenue now contains a shopping center with a plaque commemorating the building's industrial heritage.
Edward Hess, who established the company in 1904, developed 140 patents for typewriter technology during his career at Royal Typewriter Company.
