This structure is being renovated by a group of interested individuals in Berlin.

There was a write-up in an area paper that has some additional historical info. You can read the article at http://www.telegram.com/article/20110520/COULTER01/105209995.

The website for the group rehabbing the structure is http://www.oldchurchcafe.org/. The blog on the site has some great pictures of the work in progress.

Comment on Old Sutton Massachusetts Motor-In Drive In Movie Theater by handstone

I saw “Robinhood, Men in Tights” at this venue. Before they were projecting Hollywood they were projecting pornography. It was told to me that the screen’s proximity to Rt146 was causing too many accidents as passing drivers would abruptly slow down, taking their eyes off the road. I’m unsure if the change in content came from business reasons or because the town forced it.

Comment on Marshfield Massachusetts Sea View Train Station Sign by wrfreden

wrfreden — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 22:15:01 +0000

The Sea View Railroad Station was located at 53 Station St. behind the Seaview Garage [ now, Marshfield Auto Body]. It was the largest station on the Old Colony Line. About 2 miles from the Marshfield Hills Station, [ East Marshfield]. And about 2 miles fron the Center Marshfield Station.
My father bought the Station and the acre of land in 1941or2. After he was sure he wouldn’t be drafted, He and I began tearing it down [I was 10] to use the lumber to build a new home about 50 feet away from the front of the station.
The new home was built by a Mr Schatz and crew, We moved in Oct 1947. My Dad, Bill Freden, his wife Ruth lived there until their deaths, Dad, at 101, and Mom, 95.
There is more information on my blogs, Seaview/Marshfield history.
