Then and Now: Levine and Barthel blocks still thriving on Parker Street in Gardner to this day

Gardner Ale House and HUB New England anchor Parker Street like the businesses of days past Mike Richard Special for The Gardner News There are many sections of downtown Gardner that, sadly, are only mute reminders of a once grand city that was swarming with activity. Longtime residents mourn the fact that the former Orpheum Theater building and the Maki Block have been razed, while the stately Ryan Brothers Block currently stands virtually empty. However, in stark contrast are the former Levine and Barthel Blocks – no longer referred by their archaic names – but thriving today as the Gardner Ale House and HUB New England business and personal insurance, respectively.

Then and Now: A Pleasant journey back to the businesses in the heart of downtown

Venerable buildings still dominate Gardner s skyline today Mike Richard Special for The Gardner News If there was ever a shot that perfectly depicted West Gardner Square on a lazy summer day in the 1960s, the accompanying photograph taken by Charles Clark could be it. Shoppers are seen milling in and out of the many stores, while downtown regulars lean on a streetlamp or congregate in the doorway of a barber shop to share in the daily news. A Gardner police officer, safely stowed in his traffic box, directs the cars motoring along through the square. This was downtown Gardner in the mid-1960s when Edward’s Rexall Drugs, City Barber Shop, Gardner Office Supply, Priscilla Candy Shop, Sandrof’s Men’s Furnishings, Davis Hardware, First National Bank, J.C. Penney and Gardner Cooperative Bank filled the Pleasant Street store fronts.
