The Bradley Edge Tool Company Historic District is a 30-acre (12 ha) linear historic district along Lyons Plain Road in Weston, Connecticut. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. It then included 30 contributing buildings, including 19 houses built during 1820-1925. The residences in the district are predominantly associated with the Bradley Edge Tool Company, whose complex, located on the banks of the Saugatuck River, burned in 1911, and is one of the district's contributing features. Two houses, the Curtis Wood House and the Miles Bradley House, are individually significant for their architecture.[2]
Contributing properties include:
- the Gershom W. Bradley House, with a Greek Revival style doorway (see accompanying photo #1)
- the Miles Bradley House, an "exceptional example of Italianate architecture", has unusual "double bullseye windows" (see photos #3,4)[2]: 6–7
- the Osborne House, apparently originally Greek Revival but given a Colonial Revival portico later[2]: 7
- the Lockwood House, a "three-quarter house" (see photo #13)[2]: 7
