Reproduction bird's-eye view of the community known as Torrington, CT, published by O. H. Bailey in 1907. The former mill town's booster states:

"Torrington is one of the most progressive, healthful and fast growing towns of the State. With a population of 16,000 it has a number of varied, extensive and prosperous industries including the greatest Brass Manufacturing plant in the world, and large manufactories of Machinery, Hardware, Needles, Ice and Roller Skates, etc., with an annual pay-roll of near $4,000,000. Sound Banks with ample capital and liberal management. Largest and best mercantile houses in the county.

City Hall, Post Office, Fire Department, Public Library and School buildings are among the recent improvements. It has well laid out macadamized streets, excellent water service, gas and electric lights, good steam and electric railroad connections and freight accommodations. Efficient school and church advantages and live, active Business Mens' Association ready to invite and assist any enterprise favorable to the welfare of the city."
