From the 'Turnback Tuesday' archives: W & L Lumber Co. in Derby

This week's "Turnback Tuesday" remembers the Derby Building and Lumber Co. (W & L Lumber Co.) founded in 1835 by brothers Willis and Lewis Hotchkiss. Both gentlemen were prominent builders, businessmen and citizens of Derby. Their company had a large yard with an office and its own dock on the Housatonic River. 

In its early days, the company delivered timber and lumber on "teams" to Derby, Ansonia all the way up the Naugatuck Valley to Waterbury. A team of three heavy horses was quite the sight indeed.

Thanks goes to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
