John, when you’re finished “publishing” the whole article on New Ipswich, could you post it as a document that could be downloaded and printed? Thanks.
In 1900 in New England textile mills employed young women and some provided boarding houses. The history of Lowell MA has examples of this. I suspect it was because women provided skilled labor for low wages. Do we know where the Homestead Inn was?
It was located right on the corner of Main Street and Academy road, across Academy Road from the Community (Baptist) Church (across Main from the Historical Society)
