According to multiple sources, the Lafayette House in Foxboro is looking at a possible demolition, with an article from The Foxboro Reporter saying that the Route 1 dining spot has been granted a demolition permit. The post mentions that the plans were approved by the town rather than having a moratorium set in place because most of the structure does not have historical significance due to renovations and additions made to much of it, with Mark Ferencik, of the Foxboro Historical Commission saying that "Given the realities of the current business situation with COVID-19 and the small amount of original structure, the commission felt that it would be unfair to impose a six-month demolition delay, which is the most allowed by the current bylaw." It is not yet known what might replace the Lafayette House, so stay tuned for updates as they come in.
The Lafayette House was built in 1784 and had once been a stagecoach tavern and inn whose visitors reportedly included Marquis de Lafayette, Benjamin Franklin, and George Washington.
The address for the Lafayette House is 109 Washington Street (Route 1), Foxboro, MA, 02035. Its website is at https://ift.tt/2QU1WLg
