Timothy D. Flynn, shopkeeper

1880s - Timothy D. Flynn General Store - 398 Main Street

In the town report of 1905 an ad was published by Timothy D. Flynn saying, “Alteration Sale.  I am going to enlarge my general store on Salmon Street...”  According to a descendant who later lived in the building, the Flynn grocery was here.  The building appeared as a grocery store on the map of 1901, but by 1927 the property had been converted to apartments.  Many were homes for French Canadian families arriving to work in local factories.
