From Form B of 1980: “This large rambling house occupies a prominent site overlooking the meadows at the end of Pom eroy
Terrace. Pomeroy terrace was laid out about 1850 and quickly became an exclusive residential district. Later development,
south of here, along Williams Street was oriented more towards local mill workers. However, this house shows that Pomeroy
Terrace had not lost its appeal during the ensuing years. The house seems to have been first owned by John Prince, treasurer
of the Nonotuck Savings Bank.”
