Currently 830 Grand ave consists of what used to be 830 and 832 Grand ave.



The earliest known use for 830 Grand ave was Orchowsky Meat Co in 1916 until sometime in the early 1930s. After Orchowsky Meat moves out the building remains vacant until 1961 when It housed  Chevron Ties Inc for three years before Tudor House Furniture and Upholsterers Moves in from 1964 till the late 1969.



While 832 was briefly used as a clothing store in 1920.  In 1921 H.M. Bullard is the first owner to appear in the building permits and alters the storefront and 832 is occupied by Household Furniture from then till the late 1950s. During that ownership H.M Bullard made several alterations to the storefront and the building including erecting a warehouse and in 1947 erecting an elevator shaft. Between 1956 and 1957 832 Grand changed ownership from H.M. Bullard to Bradley Smith Confectioners Company. Bradley Smith Alters the storefront in 1957 and occupies the building till 1984.  Bradley Smith Company started as a candy production company. The original owner patented the lollypop with a y, however after some time the spelling changed to use an I instead. Eventually the company changed hands while keeping the original name, however switched to more of a wholesale distribution company.



Beginning in 1969 830 remained listed as vacant or no listing at all in the city directory until1985 when Phillip Sweedler perform major renovations in 1985. It seems that this was when the two properties were merged into one continuous storefront. These renovations included general interior repairs building of 5 offices, 3 restrooms, a large showroom and two storage rooms. The building was repointed along with the addition of a side vestibule, an exterior loading dock among many others.  After these alterations 830 housed Nationwide Liquidators. In 1990 Norman Sweedler had alterations done to the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors to be used by Connecticut probation offices including handicap accessibility, fire safety improvements  along with installing one elevator to serve all four floors. At this time Project More moves in but does not purchase the building until 1997. Since then various improvements to the roof have been made including HVAC and fire safety updates.
