Reviews
"In the west of Somers is a community that grew up around a mill by the Scantic River. That mill, producing textiles starting in the 1830s, has long since been destroyed by fire, but its memory survives in the buildings constructed on Maple Street and Main Street to the north. One fascinating early holdover is Ye Olde Blacksmith (75 Maple Street), a former blacksmith’s forge from the start of the 19th century, thought to have survived because it was built from local brownstone instead of wood. After the mill was bought by the Somersville Manufacturing Company in 1879 lots of multi-unit and tenement houses were constructed for workers, almost 30 of which remain on Main Street and Quality Avenue. The duplexes along Quality Avenue still have their original clapboarding and dainty late-Victorian flourishes."
