Named in the 1883 county history

The history of Bristol County was published 28 years before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

Possibly influenced by his knowledge of postal affairs gained during his years of service as postmaster, Congressman Greene was the champion of several important bills affecting the post office department.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Bristol 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.
