A year ago I showed the severely deteriorated Capewell Horse Nail Co. and explained that a proposal
to renovate the building into apartments was struggling to find financing.
Work to remediate the serious environmental damage is underway.

Recently there was a report that the project has finally obtained financial commitments.
If this eyesore is turned into quality housing, that will be an impressive accomplishment.

I hope we will see it again soon in better shape...
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll show us photos of how the work progresses.
ReplyDeletePlease. Please. Don't leave me hanging. Horse Nail Co.? I can guess but maybe some more info?
ReplyDeleteAt what cost? Birdman's question is mine…what did the former company produce?
ReplyDeleteHorse nails. How do you think horseshoes stay on?
ReplyDeleteAs I've heard said before, this building has good bones! I hope it gets a new life.
ReplyDeleteI do hope the building is saved and renovated!!
ReplyDeleteHere's keeping my fingers crossed that it gets restored, Jack!
ReplyDeleteThere's a building here I've featured before that every once in awhile has an update in the news like this- and one still wonders: is it actually going to lead to anything?
ReplyDeleteIt looks in a fragile state but maybe its bones are worth saving. I like the angle you've got on that first shot.
ReplyDeleteLove that first shot! Very artsy. Let's hope the reno comes about!
ReplyDeleteLove the composition of the first shot.
ReplyDeleteWhat? No demand for horse nails in Connecticut these days?
ReplyDeleteIt looks as though this may be the kind of renovation job that was required for Uther Pendragon's battle axe - just needs a new head and a new handle and it'll be good as new.
Here's hoping to see the restoration sometime soon then Jack!
