The Knowlton is a 50,000 SqFt building on the Pequonnock River estuary in the Washington Park Historic District on Bridgeport's East Side. The Knowlton houses 3 event venues, 2 of which are galleries. The Armstrong Gallery is 1,200 SqFt and the 285 Gallery is 3,000 SqFt. The main event space is The Boathouse, it is 9,000 SqFt.

The Knowlton also is home to 27 Artists within it’s artists studios in the main building.

The Knowlton was once home to the Armstrong Manufacturing Company — a well-known tool and die manufacturer in the 1800s — and little-known creator of a technologically advanced prototype "horseless carriage" built in 1895. In the 1900s, the first hybrid electric car was built in The Knowlton.

The Washington Park Historic district Once referred to as "Pembroke City" — is an area rich with some of the finest examples of nineteenth century residential architecture in the country — largely due to P.T. Barnum and William Noble, who invested heavily in its development.
