used in the construction of houses that
he was building in this village; some OF
it was being worked into the old Mansion
House, which was then being remodeled
and enlarged, and into the marble store.
Several houses on the street, known as
Splice street, were also partly built out
of the remains of the old church that
stood on the green. The present Con
gregational church was built in the
years 1882 and 1888; Thomas r. Dake
was the master builder, as he was of a
score or more buildings in this village.
