Description

View of Fitchburg, Worcester County, M.A., 1915 / drawn & published by T. M. Fowler.

This bird’s-eye view print of Fitchburg, Massachusetts was drawn by Thaddeus Mortimer Fowler and published by Hughes & Bailey in 1915. Fitchburg began as an agricultural and horticultural community situated beside the Nashua River.

The river became a great power source in the 1800's as industries began to emerge. Industries of Fitchburg included paper mills, textile mills, firearms makers and clothing manufacturers. Granite was harvested aggressively at Rollstone Hill. The granite quarried here was used in the making of doorsteps and bridge supports, and could be purchased directly at the quarry.

Fitchburg prospered greatly with the building of the Hoosac Tunnel and a direct railway line through the Hoosac Mountain range tunnel to Boston.
