[MassHistPres] Greek Revival Town Hall

[SCeccacci at aol.com]

Betsy,
The Town of Bedford has retained its old town hall and, I believe, has  
converted it to use as a locale for events.  I think it is a Greek  Revival.

I am  looking for a town in Massachusetts that has a Greek Revival period 
Town Hall  that has been rehabilitated or restored, either for continued use as a 
town  hall or for any other reuse.  I would like to visit it and take photos, 
 or at the least have a photo of it or a scan of a photo that I could use  
emailed to me if anyone is able.  
The Selectmen in Westminster have  placed an article on the warrant for the 
town meeting on May 3 to demolish our  Town Hall now that we have a new one.  
(They are all in favor of making  this land a park.)  I'm preparing a Power 
point presentation showing (1)  old homes and buildings in Westminster that we 
have already lost, (2)  activities that have taken place in the old Town Hall 
for more than a century,  and (3) other town halls in Massachusetts that have 
been successfully restored  and reused.  I have already been to Townsend and 
Groton (beautiful) but  they're of a different period and I think the impact 
would be greater if I had  a similar style building.
Any help would be greatly  appreciated.
