R.Smith Landmark is Demolished




Another familiar Gardner landmark is disappearing.  Judy Heino Collette sent these before and after photos.

Founded in 1956 by Richard A. Smith, former foreman of upholstery at the Custom and Modern Upholstery Company in Gardner, the Richard A. Smith Furniture Shop at 289 South Main Street (visible at Exit 23 on Route 2) has gone through several incarnations since it closed in the late 1980's.


We welcome comments from classmates who have special memories of this place.
