How the name was read

Each atlas was set in type by a different hand and scanned decades later, so the same establishment comes back spelled differently. Every reading below was produced by the recogniser from the sheets; none was corrected or invented. They are published so a search for any of them finds this page.

Grove School House

Named in the 1889 county history

The history of Worcester County was published 3 years before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

In 1827, May lf)th, a boarding and day school for young ladies was opened at the house of Pliny Earle, situated at the junction of Mulberry and Eirle Streets, and continued until 1839. It was known as the "Mulberry Grove School," and was taught by Sarah Earle and her sisters Lucy and Eliza ; the farm-house near being used for the recitation rooms. Sarah Earle was principal till her marriage,in 1832, when she was succeeded by Eliza. The French language and painting were taught ; but it was professedly an English school, and the instruction was characterized by great thoroughness. The public examinations were in the Friends' meeting-house.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Worcester County, Massachusetts, held by the Library of Congress. Sanborn atlases published before 1930 are in the public domain. Only names that at least three of four independent readings agreed on are published, and no spelling has been corrected: what appears here is what the recogniser returned from the ink.
