Notes
  • Significance: The Connecticut State Pier is significant as a typical example of early 20th-century pier engineering and as one of the earliest attempts by the state government to encourage economic development by means of a major public improvement. It was built with the hope that substantial shipping would result from the pier's access to the Central Vermont Railroad, which connected with major lines in the Midwest and Canada. While only a modest success economically, the pier provided an important port facility to the United States Navy in both world wars.
  • Survey number: HAER CT-141
