The GAS BALL!

Who remembers ye olde gas ball, which once stood between Center and Vine Streets? Once a highly pressurized natural gas-containing horton sphere, and a major landmark downtown, the sphere was dismantled and taken down in 2006.

The MHA museum still has a piece of the old ball's shell, however!

A few pictures taken on a recent tour of the Peter H. Peirce Homestead!

The stately home of Middleborough's most famous 19th century mercantile merchant was built two centuries ago. Amongst its most interesting architectual features is that a third floor was added many years later -- but rather than simply building onto the top, they actually opted to RAISE the structure off the ground, so as to add a new first floor! This ks why there appears to be a space for a front door, on the 2nd floor looking onto North Main Street.

The Peirce Homestead is run and operated by the Friends of the Middleborough Public Library, and is located adjacent to the town library -- as well as Pizza Pirate!

Thank you to Paula Faye for facilitating this tour!
