Taftville, located between downtown Norwich and the Shetucket River corridor, is a historic and mill-era Norwich neighborhood with brick industrial landmarks and riverfront green space. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Norwich Avenue and Providence Street area, where corner storefronts, takeout counters, and small service shops line the main drag beside former mill buildings. The Ponemah Mill complex sets an architectural tone of red brick, tall windows, and repurposed industrial scale. Taftville’s streets mix compact worker-era houses with small multifamily buildings on walkable blocks. Riverside paths and nearby parks shape a daily rhythm tied to the water and seasonal foliage. Local gathering spots such as Taftville Pizza and the Taftville Congregational Church anchor community routines.
