The George S. Abbott Building, also known as Wheeler and Wilson Building and Abbott Towers Apartments, is a historic mixed-use residential and commercial building at 245-247 North Main Street in Waterbury, Connecticut. It is a five story brick building, set on a corner lot, with granite trim and wooden molding details. It was designed by Henry A. Lawler and built in 1899 for George S. Abbott, a local real estate developer, as a speculative venture. The building has a distinctive blend of Romanesque and Panel Brick styles, and is an architectural elegant solution to a challenging lot, which is both narrow and has steeply sloping topography. The building historically housed retail spaces on the first floor and residences above.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
