The Hitchcock and Northrup (or Northrop) Apartment buildings, built around 1910, are located on West Main Street in Waterbury. Designed by the prolific Waterbury architect Wilfred Elizur Griggs, the two matching Jacobethan-style structures share a freestanding elevator tower, connected by ramps to each floor of the two buildings.

I am fascinated by these buildings. Just visited Waterbury from Boston last weekend. So many beautiful and unique buildings, very sorry to see so many standing empty. Wonder why these architects thought open air walkways were the way to go in our climate?!
