Brief Description
For additional description see National Register application: http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NRHP/Text/92001638.pdf.
Associated with the Connecticut Arms and Mfg. Co. Mill (#2935). Within the district are ten single- and multi-family wood-frame houses that have been identified as having been built by the Connecticut Arms and Mfg. Co. or its predecessor, the Curtis Co., during the mid 19th century. Of particular note are the single-family Carpenter Gothic style mill agent’s house at 62 Parker Terrace Extension (built in 1863), and the nearly identical duplex-style vernacular residences at 56-58 and 64-66 Parker Terrace Extension (built in 1863 and 1861), and 60 Parker Terrace (built in 1861). Additional working class housing located along Naubuc Avenue, Parker Terrace, and Parker Terrace Extension was very likely also associated with the nearby factory, if not specifically built by or maintained by the various firms that occupied it.
