Saving Time: The Fight to Preserve Timex's Architectural Wonder in Middlebury

· 01:10

|

Welcome to today's episode, where we highlight the potential demolition of Timex's unique headquarters in Middlebury, Connecticut. Opened in 2001, this architectural gem features all-glass walls and an arched roof, embodying openness and collaboration, with a meridian line that marks time through sunlight streaming in.

But now, a proposed distribution center threatens this iconic building, leading community member Nicholas Stuller to take action. After discovering the building's significance during a chance visit, Stuller founded Save Historic Middlebury, aiming to preserve this one-of-a-kind structure, as he reflects, "It's so unusual... something's got to get done."

Despite facing setbacks with preservation applications and a looming demolition threat, Stuller remains hopeful. He states, "I think there’s decent odds we can convince the people that do control the building to change their plans." As the community rallies together, the ultimate fate of the Timex headquarters remains uncertain, and time is of the essence. Stay tuned for updates on this inspiring preservation effort.
