| CENTRAL SQUARE, FROM EAST SIDE The mounted sepia print shows a wide roadway, a stone or brick building behind a watering trough at left.; three wooden buildings at right, horses and buggies in the street. The sign over the pillared building housing the store at the far right reads "Trowbridge & Savage." The small shopping area of Framingham Centre was once known as Central Square, having stores on both sides of Route 9. The central feature of the 1880 view is the white business block known as the Esty Block, one of the few buildings that still stood in 1980. The brick building at far left is the Framingham National Bank. This is the image of Framingham Centre village used to represent "Pottsville NY" by Arthur Train in his "Yankee Lawyer: The Autobiography of Ephraim Tutt." |
