Background and Context
Throughout the first half of the 20th century, Waterbury was the leading center in the United States for the manufacture of brass. Dominating the city’s industrial interests were the “Big Three” – Scoville, Chase and, the largest and most dominant, Anaconda-American Brass. In 1913, the American Brass Company built its headquarters in Waterbury at the intersection of Grand and Meadow Streets – setting the distinctive curved structure among a rare collection of other landmark buildings in the downtown core.
