Title: Republican Building, 229-231 Bank Street, Waterbury, New Haven County, CT Other Title: Morrow Building Bank Street Historic District Creator(s): Historic American Buildings Survey, creator Related Names: Morrow, Corinne Griggs, Henry C Date Created/Published: Documentation compiled after 1933 Data Page(s): 22 Photo Caption Page(s): 1 Notes: Significance: In 1883 Corinne and J. Henry Morrow purchased the south-west corner of Henry C. Griggs' homestead, and built the Republican Building to accommodate his expanding newspaper and printing businesses. The Waterbury Republican, founded by Morrow as a weekly paper in 1881, printed its first daily edition from the new Republican Building in 1884. Typical of the Victorian period, the Republican Building's stylistic sources are eclectic. But, nonetheless, its appearance is simple if not elegant. Most ornamentation is limited to the gabled parapet where brick corbeling and terra-cotta panels frame a large semi-circular window below. Although the Republican was the earliest commercial building in the area, and prefigured the ultimate development of the block, it is perhaps more significant in its place within the entire Bank Street Historic District: a contiguous row of multi-story buildings set close to the sidewalk, highly decorative and diverse in style, yet closely related in size, scale, and materials. Together the four buildings are typical of Waterbury's commercial architecture at the turn of the century. They also represent the city's prosperity and its economic growth during that period.
