Timexpo Museum
Timexpo Museum

The Timexpo Museum in Waterbury, Connecticut was dedicated to the history of Timex Group and its predecessors, featuring exhibits dating to the founding of Waterbury Clock Company in 1854. The museum was located in the Brass Mill Commons shopping center with its location marked by a 40-foot (12 m) high replica of an Easter Island Moai statue which connected with the museum's archaeology exhibit. The museum covered 14,000 square feet (1,300 m2) with 8,000 square feet (740 m2) dedicated to the two main exhibits: the company's history of timepieces and archaeology.For decades, Waterbury has been known as the Brass Capital, despite a decline in manufacturing over time. The building that housed the museum was the former executive office of the Scovill Manufacturing Company and Century Brass Company, and is the only remaining building of the 44-acre (180,000 m2) brass mill complex. Timex Group owed its origins to the Waterbury brass industry when the original clock company began in 1854 as a division of brass manufacturer Benedict & Burnham – a local competitor to Scovill. Waterbury Clock was spun off and incorporated on March 27, 1857 due to its success.The museum focused on important events in Timex Group history, including an exhibit on the U.S. Army commissioning Waterbury Clock Company in 1917 to provide wristwatch versions of the Ingersoll Ladies Midget pocketwatch for soldiers heading overseas. It included aspects of local history, including letters from Mark Twain, who lived for a time in nearby Hartford, as well as exhibits concerning the travels of settlers across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans based on the explorations of Thor Heyerdahl.The museum was approved in 1999 and opened in May 2001. Museum costs were estimated at $4.8 million, with the Naugatuck Valley Development Corporation providing approximately $500,000 and Timex funding the rest.The final cost was $5.45 million, including $2 million from the Naugatuck Valley Development Corporation and the Connecticut Department of Economic Development and Community Development.The museum closed at the end of September, 2015, because of low attendance.

Hillside Historic District (Waterbury, Connecticut)

The Hillside Historic District in Waterbury, Connecticut is a 106-acre (43 ha) historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1987. It encompasses a residential area north of the city's central business district, and is bounded on the south by West Main Street, the west by Willow Avenue and Cliff and Frederick Streets, on the north by Buckingham Street and Woodland Terrace, and on the east by Cooke Street. Developed principally over an 80-year period between 1840 and 1920, it includes a cross-section of architectural styles of the 19th and early 20th centuries. The area was a desirable neighborhood of the city for much of this time, and was home to a number of the city's elite. In 1987, it included 395 buildings deemed to contribute to the historic character of the area, and one other contributing structure. It includes the Wilby High School and the Benedict-Miller House, which are both separately listed. 32 Hillside Road, a several acre property that includes the Benedict Miller House, was the original site of The University of Connecticut's Waterbury Branch until 2003. The oldest houses in the district are Greek Revival in style, and are located along its major roads, West Main and Cook Streets. The largest number of houses in the district are Queen Anne in style, reflective of the city's growth in the late 19th century. Early Victorian styles are present in smaller numbers, with a particularly fine examples of the Gothic Revival at 63 Prospect Street and the Italianate at 36 Buckingham Street. There are also a significant number of Colonial Revival and Tudor Revival houses, particularly along Prospect Street and Woodlawn Terrace. Non-residential properties include the 1889 Driggs School building on Woodlawn Terrace, and the Baptist and Christian Science churches, both built c. 1917.
