American Thermos Bottle Company Laurel Hill Plant
About this property
The American Thermos Bottle Company Laurel Hill Plant is located in the Laurel Hill Historic District section of Norwich, Connecticut. It includes 11 contributing buildings and two other contributing structures. The original plant was built during 1912–13 and used a historic Italianate house as a company office building. The plant was the primary factory where Thermos brand vacuum flask bottles were manufactured from 1913 to 1984. It is historically significant in its connection to the Thermos Company and the history of Norwich. The complex is architecturally significant because it displays the adaptive use of industrial mill design to new industry. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. Numerous changes and renovations have occurred since its nomination. Condominiums have since been constructed in the area, and the large manufacturing building has been renovated and re-purposed for loft-style apartments. Two buildings were demolished on the northern end of the property in order to construct the Integrated Day Charter School which was completed in 2008. The school brought a new two-story addition which provided an indoor gymnasium, kitchen, offices, and a new lobby for the school.
