	Masonic Building or Dresser House Southbridge Massachusetts with a view of Central Street Title Masonic Building or Dresser House Southbridge Massachusetts with a view of Central Street Full Size Image http://dlib.cwmars.org/cdm4/images/full_size/southbridge/75.jpg Subject Southbridge (Mass.)--History; Historic buildings--Massachusetts--Southbridge; Historic buildings--New England; Central business districts--Massachusetts--Southbridge; Architecture--United States--19th century; Southbridge (Mass.)--Pictorial works Description Over the years, the Masonic building has been known as the C. A. Dresser House and the Maci building. Located at "92 Main Street", at the intersection of Central Street, a glimpse of the commercial district is provided. The corner of the Boston Branch building is on view. The brick structure with stone relief is similar to the adjacent Ammidown building (not shown) except for the ornamental central tower. The C. A. Dresser House was a hotel. Retractable awnings are over some of the windows in the front of the building. A flat belt sign announces J. R. Harris & Son. An interesting view of the west side of Central Street, is provided, showing a row of brick commercial operations. Shortly after a refurbishment of the building in the early 1970s, there was a fire in the residential section overhead. An immigrant lost his life in the fire and the building was so compromised it was razed. The lot is now a parking area for the Savers Bank. Creator Pease, Aaron H.
