Historic shoemaking building now a home décor store
NORTHBOROUGH – The property at 140 Main Street was originally built as a private home with an attached workshop and is now the upscale “Purple Rose” home decor store. This building was built for Captain Jeremiah Hunt, who was born in Northborough in 1785. The Northborough Historical Society has a floor plan for the building dated August 1817 so likely the building was built around that time. This property has historical significance because it was associated with Northborough’s early shoemaking industry. Jeremiah and his brother, Stephen, are credited with being the first in Northborough to make shoes on a large-scale basis. Part of the Hunt brothers’ early success may have been due to their holding a license for a patented method of attaching soles.
Rimkus: Vacation to Tuscon, Arizona; Folkes celebrates 105th
HUDSON – Back, after a 12-day visit in Tucson, Arizona, with our daughter, Julie and her spouse, Camille, enjoying their hospitality and local tours. This year we toured closer to the city, enjoying many nearby sights and sites. In downtown Tucson we looked for, and found, the huge mural “The Three Sisters,” a 50-foot by 50-foot painting on the side of a three-story building, painted by two Tucson and two Nogales artists. The spectacular sight is one of the many murals painted downtown by local artists to mark a city revival. Nearby are the revived, renovated and repainted “Barrio Viejo” (circa northern Mexico 1870) homes, each one a different desert color with unique wooden doors.
