This ornate Renaissance Revival theater is a beautiful anchor for downtown Waterbury. After a long closure starting in the 1980s, The Palace Theater (1921) was reborn in the 2000s as a hub for performing arts. This is one of only two surviving venues built by theater magnate, Sylvester Z. Poli (1858-1937), and is considered the finest example. The ...
For those looking for a window into the history of the Central Naugatuck Valley, look no further than the Mattatuck Museum Arts and History Center. This museum’s collections are wide-ranging, spanning everything from art by Alexander Calder to brass buttons. Indeed, this is the repository for the rich collections of the famed Waterbury Button Compa...
Downtown Waterbury converges on this rectangular grassy space. Waterbury Green spans 2 acres, and is the symbolic center point of the city. True to its name, the park now covers what would have been the original town commons, starting in the 17th century. Those original buildings have long since been lost to waves of development, including industri...
A rewarding way to spend an hour in Waterbury is taking a look around the compact downtown area. Going through long-term regeneration, downtown Waterbury reflects the city’s diverse makeup, blending culture, dining, shopping and interesting sights. Some big landmarks that I won’t cover in this article include the Elton Hotel (1904), the monumental ...
The largest green space in the heart of Waterbury surrounds the Silas Bronson Library. When I came by, Library Park had just been dug up and relandscaped, with flowerbeds, a winding trail, and a little plaza area by the library. As well as being a leafy hangout, it’s the setting for outdoor events in the city. I’d check the local listings while you...
Known for being the only professional theater in the area, the Seven Angels Theatre currently showcases an amazing 200 performances every year. The theater has been going for decades now, with shows that reflect the tastes of the community. These range from Shakespearian theater to dramas and musicals, and are produced with the help of professional...
In the very south of Waterbury, this 270-acre lake overlaps into two other communities including Naugatuck and Middlebury. The lake was actually created from a dam that was built across Hop Brook in the 1960s. This was eventually followed by a 500-acre recreation area with a sandy beach, trails and picnic areas. These waters are known for being ful...
Based at the Naugatuck Valley Community College, this famous ensemble was founded as long ago as 1938. The orchestra is dedicated to bringing the enjoyment and appreciation of classical music to the people of Northwest Connecticut. To that end there’s an excellent series of concerts every season, with 100 talented performers from across New England...
In downtown Watrrbury, there’s an interesting terrace of commercial buildings between Market Square and Grand Street. As the surrounding cityscape has been transformed these four turn-of-the-century buildings have stood the test of time. The terrace includes a highly unusual example of a Queen Anne-style commercial building, which I’d never seen be...
Exploring downtown Waterbury, my eye was constantly drawn to the elegant, 240-foot tower of the city’s defunct railway station. Located on Meadow Street, Union Station (1909) is the most iconic building in Waterbury. It’s also a nod to the city’s love of watches and clocks. The clock tower on the station was built in 1909 and has over 300 steps to ...
