significant as being one of the first of the half dozen homes erected in the center of Florence. It served then as an impetus for further community development in the early 19th century.
Mr. Jewett, an early industrialist in Florence, was engaged in the manufacture of shuttles for the woolen factory at Shepherd’s Hollow (now Leeds). He also operated a tap and faucet
business and repaired wheels as well. He came to purchase land on wither side of Broughton’s Meadow for the purpose of building a dam. The ensuing water power was channeled in a small
shop which he built for production of warp bobbins and spools for the various woolen and silk mills.” BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES Beers, F. W. County Atlas of Hampshire Massachusetts,
