RULES AND REGULATIONS governing the use of Village Hall in South Dedham, now Norwood, were found between partitions by Louis Albrecht of Islington during razing of the ancient structure on Broadway.
Prohibited, among other things, was “littering the floor with nut shells, all noise and disorder in public meetings” and “all scuffling and rudeness upon the piazza.” Persons using the building were also warned not to “cut, mark, or deface any part of the woodwork or walls.”
