Band Stand Location Debated-This Day in Norwood History-June 6, 1902

Finding a fitting location for public gatherings or band concerts was becoming a challenge in Norwood by 1902.

It would be years before George Willett spearheaded the construction of the Town Common that we know today, but the area, called "Hook Square" in the article, was still proposed. The bandstand was eventually constructed in the Everett lot, in what is now Aaron Guild Square.
