Redevelopment opportunity in New Haven’s Mill River neighborhood. Former M. Armstrong and Company Carriage Factory, built in 1882, and situated in the heart of New Haven’s carriage District. In 1909, Armstrong added automobile bodies to the production line to counter falling demands for older carriage technology and in 1919 discontinued all carriage production. The company closed in 1927 as auto production shifted to the Midwest. The next occupant was the John P. Smith Company, which manufactured wire fencing and stayed until closing in 1963. This property is listed in Preservation Connecticut’s Mills: Making Places of Connecticut industrial survey and is individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places, which makes it Eligible for both State and Federal historic Rehabilitation Tax Credits. Building area is 32,953 sq. ft.; 0.59 acres. In Opportunity Zone.
