I do remember that the place with the posters was was very close to Eggars. I wish I could see a picture of the whole block. Too bad there weren't any panorama cameras back then. Do you know if the posters still exist? I'd love to see them.

The hall in the building was the largest meeting space in Middleborough until the construction of Middleborough Town Hall. Afterwards, the building was used as a venue for roller polo, Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12950591025983948991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5406925495753134449.post-43614500457196481212010-01-12T09:06:41.589-05:002010-01-12T09:06:41.589-05:00I could be mistaken, but I think this building als...I could be mistaken, but I think this building also once served as a theatre. Walking up the stairs in the hardware store, you would see, along the wall, old playbills or perhaps they were movie posters. I can't remember which, but I remember my mother saying it has been a theatre.Gladys Kravitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06741576874114564124noreply@blogger.com
