A Medfield Historical Minute...

This "Medfield Historical Minute" is brought to you by town historian Richard DeSorgher. A
little something to read and learn to give you a little break during this time of boredom during isolation due to the Coronavirus Crisis.
A different "Medfield Historical Minute" will appear each day during the Crisis.

"In 1929 the vacant Lowell Mason School on School Street, recently purchased by Evelyn Byng, burned to the ground. Firefighters were unable to extinguish the two-story wooden building due to a lack of water and had to stand around and watch it burn. The school was in the process of being demolished before the fire and workers had already taken off the roof before the fire destroyed the rest of the school."
