New Haven Industrial Heritage Trails

New Haven was well known for its carriage industry and a number of firms clustered in Wooster Square. One of the city’s most resilient carriage-related businesses is C. Cowles & Company, which produced lanterns and other components. In 2014, Cowles finally decamped to North Haven, leaving a complex of buildings at Water and Chestnut Street now occupied by U-Haul which has converted some of the buildings to storage.
