Sadly, the building that housed the Milton Woman’s Club is no more. By tomorrow afternoon this will likely be an empty construction lot. Some houses will go up and some folks will move in and memories will fade. But something had to happen.

The Woman’s Club could not afford to have the building repaired. It had been offered to the town at one point but the town could not afford it either. The club decided to sell the property and invest the proceeds to fund their charitable work.

The developer of the property has done a good job. Meetings took place with neighbors. Concerns were addressed and time marches on. The question to ask is what if anything could have been different and as another piece of Milton history disappears what lessons if any do we take from it?
