Peck, Stow & Wilcox Factory, Industrial complex on Center Street in Southington, US.

Peck, Stow & Wilcox was a large industrial complex with a forge featuring a sawtooth roof, an annealing building, and several brick structures spread across multiple acres. The layout reflected typical 19th-century manufacturing practice, with buildings arranged functionally for different production steps.

The factory was founded in 1870 through the merger of three tin-processing equipment manufacturers and quickly became the region's largest employer. This consolidation of companies created a dominant production site that shaped Southington's economy for decades.

The factory leaders shaped Southington by supporting community projects and participating actively in local civic life. The workplace became central to the town's identity and growth during its industrial years.

The complex was demolished in 2015 after hazardous materials were removed, so nothing of the factory stands at 217 Center Street today. The block is bounded by Center, Water and Mill Streets, and the former railroad right-of-way is now the Farmington Canal Heritage Trail, which passes the site and can be walked or cycled.

The company also ran a plant in Cleveland, Ohio, extending its tin-tool production beyond Southington. The Southington complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989, and its 1912 buildings stood until 2015, when they were torn down after hazardous materials were removed.
