At the end of Monument Square is this historic inn, dating from 1770 and still thriving. It is composed of three old houses joined together. The building on the extreme left was a Revolutionary store-house, while the wing in the foreground was once a Thoreau residence. The old tap room is still intact, and many relics of the Revolution are still in evidence.
A TEMPLE OF COMMERCE ON THE MILL DAM
The business heart of Concord received the name of the “Mill Dam” due to the fact that it was the site of a dam for almost two centuries. Some of its buildings still retain a fine old Colonial character.
MODERN CONCORD
The Colonial tradition is reflected in many newer buildings, such as the bank on the previous page.
