Erector Square LLC is a 11-building, three-story brick industrial warehouse complex located at the intersection of Blatchley Avenue and Peck Street in the Fair Haven neighborhood of New Haven, Connecticut.

History

[edit]

The complex originally housed the factory for making Erector Set toys, invented by Alfred Carlton Gilbert. The last official toy sets were produced there in 1967 and the company then went out of business. The Gilbert Co. assets were purchased by Gabriel Toys and moved to Lancaster, Pennsylvania.[1]

Today, Erector Square LLC is managed locally by Capp Associates LLC and is home to Erector Square Studios a community of working artists, creative and wellness professionals. The complex has nearly 150 studios ranging in size from 160 to 10,000 square feet. A growing number of well-known artists have recently made New Haven home[2] and the community at Erector Square includes established and emerging artists, researchers, architects, designers, dance, theater, yoga and pilates professionals.
