Historical Commission · Meeting of June 22, 2026
East Bridgewater Historical Commission votes to allow demolition of 479 Central Street home. The Commission voted 6-0 to approve the demolition, with Commission Chairman Dale R. Julius abstaining due to a family connection to the property.
The two-family residence is listed as built in 1927 on town tax records, though construction and historical records suggest it dates to the 1850s. Owner Michael Ahern cited the property's age and significant deterioration as making preservation not cost effective, and the Commission found no historical significance except the building's age.
