Show Details
The lot on which the church stands was transferred by Benjamin Bussey, stating that no other building but a meeting house was to be erected on the premises. The Catholics later purchased the property and erected a new church in 1915.
The Academy was enlarged and now houses the Thomaston Public Library.
