Notes:
Replaced a 1920s Brill (possibly from Reading) that was purchased c. 1930 to go with the Medford Battery Co. and gas station. A 1948 O’Mahoney followed, keeping the Brill as a kitchen. Replaced again in 1961 with this three-section, Colonial-style Swingle.
Demolished 1987. Site is currently occupied by a small professional complex. In 2012, a third generation of the Carroll family opened Carroll’s Restaurant at 21 Main St.
