Tuesday, March 22
6:00 pm - 7:15 pm
Join us on March 22 at 6pm for an amazing look at the Valley’s former booming brass industry. Our speaker will be Emery Roth who has compiled unique photos of the Ansonia Copper & Brass Co. into a photography book that he will discuss as well as the history of the brass industry in the Valley.
Emery Roth has been shooting photographs since childhood. He studied both design and language arts at Carnegie-Mellon University, simultaneously earning degrees in architecture and literature. His pictures and his experiences shooting them inspire his writing. After 40 years living and teaching in Connecticut’s “Northwest Hills,” he became fascinated with the old mill towns of the Naugatuck Valley and their history, and he began following the tracks through old ruins until he was led to the last functioning brass mill.
