The George S. Abbott Building, also known as Wheeler and Wilson Building and Abbott Towers Apartments, is a historic mixed-use residential and commercial building at 245-247 North Main Street in Waterbury, Connecticut. It is a five story brick building, set on a corner lot, with granite trim and wooden molding details. It was designed by Henry A. Lawler and built in 1899 for George S. Abbott, a local real estate developer, as a speculative venture. The building has a distinctive blend of Romanesque and Panel Brick styles, and is an architectural elegant solution to a challenging lot, which is both narrow and has steeply sloping topography. The building historically housed retail spaces on the first floor and residences above.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
