Market Square, 0.2 m., is near the oldest section of the city; it was in this neighborhood that the first textile mills were erected about 1810. The buildings still visible, though timeworn, are of the second or third generation of factory development.

In my mind the area is probably pretty much like it was in 1937. More traffic for sure, but the layout is pretty much the same. Functions and the businesses occupying the buildings are different.
