Indicate Exemplary Historial Associations or Outstanding Architectural Character The Ensign Bickford Co. grew from the manufacturing of fuses by Bacon, an Englishman, in 1836. Mr. Bacon established a fuse manufacturing process in East Weatogue in 1838. In 1839, the firm, Bacon, Bickford, Eales & Co. was joined by Joseph Toy. Fire caused the factory to be moved to its present site along Hop Brook. The firm, then called Toy, Bickford & Co. was again troubled by fires and was renamed Ensign, Bickford & Co in 1907. The company enjoys a reputation uncommon to many industries, having been of considerable value in the development of Simsbury.

A majority of the factory buildings are constructed of local sandstone and have been erected around Hop Brook.
