House of the Week: 39 Church St. Westboro a page out of local history
By Debbie LaPlaca
WESTBORO – Historical charm and modern amenities are embodied in this 1880 “period showpiece” at 39 Church St., recently listed at $989,000.
Rich in history, this 1880 home that graces the corner of Church and Fay streets is the birthplace of award-winning author Esther Forbes (1891-1967).
Forbes was born in Westboro as the youngest of five children. Her family roots can be traced back to 1600s America – one of her great uncles was Sons of Liberty leader Sam Adams. Her father was a probate judge in Worcester and her mother was a writer of New England reference books.
