Do You Think the Hersey House is Being Put To Good Use?

If you were McDowell, what would you do with the historic home?

In March 2011, the Hingham Board of Selectmen sold the historic Hersey House to Lincoln Street neighbor John McDowell.

The Selectman agreed to McDowell’s plans for the historic Hingham home – to renovate it into one or two parcels and to restore a barn on the property.

The Hersey House was donated to Hingham in 1948 by Ira Hersey Sr.   In the past it had been used for school  and town services and was once used as Hingham’s  senior center.
