DID YOU KNOW: Richardson's Oakes Ames Memorial Hall

Your weekly historical fact, courtesy of the Easton Historical Society.

DID YOU KNOW that June 13, 1885 "The American Architect and Building News" then the leading architectural journal in the country, published the findings of a survey to determine the best buildings in the country. Seventy-five architects mentioned 175 buildings. Richardson's Trinity Church in Boston was declared the best, and Richardson's Oakes Ames Memorial Hall in Easton was the tenth.

PLAN TO VISIT THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY TODAY between 1 and 5 to view exhibits about the Geddes Family that came to Furnace Village from Scotland in the 1870s.
