New Haven Awning

New Haven Awning

11 Edwards Street

A small, art moderne factory building on Edwards Street. Now home to a hair salon, it once housed the prolific New Haven Awning Company, shaping metal and stretching canvas. Many local business awnings on State Street, and across the city, were produced by this company. The building is an elegant, streamlined contributor to a diverse architectural scene, near State Street commerce and the Greek Revival and Victorian houses of Edwards Street.
