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.

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.

Ample provision is annually made for the support of public schools, four-tenths or nearly one-half the annual appropriations being devoted to this purpose and various means adopted to secure to them the most advanced methods of public school instruction. By a wise provision, at a cost of twelve thousand dollars, and an annual payment of one thousand dollars to the trustees of Nichols Academy, this town is entitled to all the advantages this, the best equipped institution of its kind in the country, affords as a preparatory school. Amasa Nichols was its founder. He erected the first structure in 1815 entirely at his own expense at a cost of ten thousand dollars. Unfortunately, his first building was burned when nearly completed, April 11, 181G.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of North Brookfield, 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.
