1920s Tudor For Sale In Worcester Part Of A Historic Suburb

WORCESTER, MA — Most people alive today don't remember a time without suburban development. After World War II, property developers began building large tracts of housing on rural land outside big cities, leading to a population boom.

But before that, early suburban developers were building pretty close to the downtown core.

It's located in a neighborhood south of Assumption College that used to be farm land.
