The "Corner House," so-called, as the corner of Hastings and Main streets, about 1896. In 1831, Nathanial Torrey kept store in the ground floor, with a tenement above. Last used as a boarding house for workmen building the trolley road in 1900; then torn down to make Founders' Park. A small house in the rear moved to Milford Street (Route 16) near the present Xtra Mart. The other house seen was Mrs. Nugent's and was Mendon's first bake house, around 1800. From the Aldrich Collection, given to the Mendon Historical Society in 1974. |
