The Commission and the town experienced a crushing loss with the demolition of the Amos Morse House at 77 North Street. Almost 20 years of meetings, plans and negotiations with the Kraft Group ultimately were not enough to save this property which was on the National Register of Historic Places. Over the years multiple offers were made by potential restorers, proposals were made to move or dismantle the house, or possibly turn it into a 501(c) (3) property like a headquarters for the Myra Kraft Foundation. Despite our best efforts the building was allowed to deteriorate over the years, and the grand old lady had its last indignity imposed with its untimely demolition on December 20, 2019.
