BLT or its affiliates have filed applications to demolish the 19th century Blickensderfer Typewriter factory Building (650 Atlantic Street) and two wood frame multi-family houses (79 Garden Street and 130 Henry Street). All three are contributing buildings to the South End Historic District.
The South End is listed on the National Register of Historic Places because of its strong sense of place, the architectural quality of its buildings and the stories these buildings tell about Stamford’s history. The world’s very first portable typewriter was invented in Stamford by Mr. Blickensderfer and manufactured in his Atlantic Street factory.
