History
Dating back to 1722, The first grist mill was built by Joseph Parson on this site. Other enterprises following the mill were, a brick building, operated by Co. J.D. Sargent and E. Sargent, manufacturing card clothing; the second schoolhouse in the town; a hearse house and a power station; a restaurant and two trolley barns owned and operated by the Worcester Street Railway, which were torn down in 1933. In 1937, the present building was erected of field stone resembling the Morro Castle in Havana, Cuba. In 1966, the new addition was built by the Nicas Family with stones and lumber for the new building coming from the former Worcester Public Library, Y.W.C.A. and the Elks Home of Worcester.
