Old Town Centre
Bring a little Boxborough home.
Slate Desk Plaque · 11 × 7 inches
A book, a pen and a page of work are ready on the desk, with the small plaque set nearby where there is time to notice its picture. Boxborough's church, Cobleigh house and parsonage sit within one old town-center view, giving neighboring buildings room to be noticed together.
The frontispiece of Boxborough's 1891 history shows the Congregational church, Cobleigh house and parsonage around the old town centre. The full streetscape is the subject. It records neighboring buildings as a shared village setting, where domestic and community life stood close together.
The streetscape connects a home with community gathering places, keeping Boxborough's village relationships as important as any single building in the scene. Set it beside your books, or give it as a local view that needs a shelf rather than wall space.
