Final Resting Place of the Old Bandstand - 1915

Final Resting Place of the Old Bandstand - 1915

The bandstand was built by Abel Haynes in 1904, and was set up at the foot of Walnut and Main Streets (then known as Post Office Square). The Maynard Brass Band used it until 1915. At that time, as a result of a dispute between the Maynard Brass Band and the Finnish Imatra Band, the bandstand was removed to a new location at 88 Acton Street, where it is shown in this picture. It's new location was in the rear of the home of Thomas Wright, who played the trombone in the Maynard Band. Eventually, the bandstand deteriorated in this location.
