  • Welcome to Erector Square.

    Open Studios 2025 is October 18 & 19, 2025.

    Erector Square celebrates 101 years of making and innovating this year! Erector Square was first established as a toy factory in 1923 by A. C. Gilbert. The classic Erector Set, American Flyer model trains and other toys were produced here by Gilbert Toys until the factory’s closing in 1967.  Erector Square was then repurposed into one of the largest studio complexes of its kind with over 175 studios in eight buildings, over 150 of which are artist studios. It is now home to a community of established and emerging artists, architects, musicians, designers, dance, theater and fitness professionals.

    Erector Square is located at 315 Peck street at the intersection of Blatchley Avenue and Peck Street in the Fair Haven neighborhood of New Haven, Connecticut.
