History of Parker Harding Plaza

In 1947 the back of the main street development had the river coming up to the foundations of its buildings. Before Brooks Corner stores and the Market Place building, the face of this part of town changed with the building of Parker Harding plaza, and allotted the room for the Library addition to be erected in the late 1950s
