| Dedham is an historic suburban industrial town on the principal southern
corridor of metropolitan Boston, and is the site of the earliest surviving
framed house in New England, the handsome 1737 Fairbanks House. The 10.7
square mile community received its grant as a town from the Massachusetts
Bay Colony in 1636, placing it among the oldest communities in the state.
Its colonial agricultural economy was expanded by industry only after the
town, in 1639, built one of the earliest water power canals connecting the
Charles River with a tributary of the Neponset River and creating
sufficient water power for grist and fulling mills.
The character and future of the community changed drastically when it
became the county seat for Norfolk County and the court house was built in
1796. As local historians pointed out, this brought in lawyers and
officials, trained, educated and ambitious men who changed the face of the
community by investing in and supporting industrial development. Woolen
mills were developed in Dedham and innovations such as power broadlooms
were introduced. By 1830 there were two woolen mills, two cotton mills,
four sawmills and five factories staffed by Irish and German immigrants who
made up 27% of the Dedham population. Everything from pianos to furniture
was made in Dedham, including famous Dedham crackleware pottery.
The town shows a rich and diverse architectural face to the world, with its
monumental granite court house of Greek Revival design, its Victorian
prison, its limestone Neoclassical Registry of Deeds, Romanesque Revival
public library and Renaissance and Georgian Revival schools. In addition,
Dedham has a remarkably well preserved town center, with many handsome,
historic houses of which the community is very proud. |
