We moved to Woodsville, from North Haverhill, in 1943. I was christened in the North Haverhill Methodist Church.

She told us how to get to church by going up Central Street toward the crossings, turn right and the church would be about four buildings down.

For some reason we went to church at different times. I went up Central Street a bit too far and ended up at the Universalist Church where I continued going for many years.

Ozzie didn’t fare so well. He went a street farther than I and came home crying … “I’ll never go back to church. They don’t even speak English in this new town!” Needless to say he had been to services in the Catholic Church.……. Pastors of the Methodist Church

Smith Street. (1919)Mulliken Block … The Mulliken Block, at 89-93 Central Street, was built in

1900. The building ws located in the present parking area at the corner of Central and Chapel Streets. It was built by Adna F. Mulliken to be used as a hardware store.

Mulliken was in the hardware business as Mulliken & Davis, in Wells River, Vermont, since 1875. Mulliken & Davis also operated in back of the original Odd Fellows building from 1883-1900. The building was to be two stories. The law office of Smith & Smith was to occupy space on the second floor and the Mulliken hardware store was to occupy the middle store on the ground floor. The store on the corner (the left side facing the building) was rented by Doe Brothers. Doe Brothers first sold overalls and work clothing, stable blankets and lap robes. In 1901 they started selling jewelry and watches. Soon later they started selling furs and Edison talking machines.

In 1901 an annex was added the the building. This was a two story wood framed building on the right of the original building. E. E. Craig moved his grocery business here in 1901 to 1906 when a fire broke out. It started on the second floor in the home and office of dentist H. G. Darling. The wooden annex was damaged, but the brick block was not. In 1907 James Lowe was contracted to move the remains of the wooden annex to the back and left, behind the brick Block. This later became Walker Motors building.

Mr. Mulliken immediately contracted to erect a brick building to replace the destroyed and moved annex. The main street store would be occupied by Doe Brothers. Doe Brothers soon sold the clothing part of their business to A. D. Farwell & Co. and moved their jewelry business to the back of the block, until they relocated in the Opera Block, Court Street side, in 1910. This space was previously occupied by the post office. E. E. Craig reopened his grocery store in the other side of the new annex. Craig store was sold to Richardson Brothers in 1909, to F. E. Cadwell 1911, to Lynn Miller in 1915.

In 1916 there was a fire in the original part of the Mulliken Block, on the corner. It was a horrible fire which destroyed the entire part in the original structure. The fire also spread to the annex and Lynn Miller’s store. There was also damage to the building to the rear, the original annex that had been moved there earlier. The remains were removed and this area, to this day in 2009, is still a parking area. The annex building, which was recently damaged by fire from an adjacent building, now contains two businesses; “Everything but the cook” and Woodsville Book Store. There are apartments on the second floor. The remains of the annex, after the fire, were purchased by Alphonse Lorenzo. The building was restored and used for his shoe repair business. Lorenzo was from Italy. In 1921 he sold the building and returned to Italy. Ernest Gobeille purchased the building for his clothing and tailor business.

He later moved the business upstairs into his apartment and rented the stores on the street level.

The original annex remains that were movd to the rear were then on Chapel Street. But when the original Mulliken block burned and became a parking lot the address became 93-97 Central Street. This building was first used as storage for Mulliken’s hardware. Then in 1912 H. C. Hale had Ford cars displayed here. In

In 1935 Libbey moved the business to “Stoneville” on the corner of Smith and Forest Streets. Walker & Eastman took over the garage; Packard, Dodge & Plymouth sales and repairs. J. Harvey Walker took over the business after the war and moved it to Route 10 in 1955. The business is operated by Jim Walker and his sons (2009).

Mulliken & Davis … Mulliken & Davis had a plumbing shop on Pleasant Street until 1900 when they moved the business to the Mulliken Block at 89-93 Central Street. Their space was taken over by the New England & China Tea Company until 1901 when the building burned.

Pleasant Street, between the Odd Fellows Building and the Weeks Block. It had three stores on the street level and a public hall on the second floor that would seat 500 people. A shooting gallery moved into one of the first floor stores. They were previously in the Weeks Block.

Quincy Scott used one of the stores for storage. He had a store in the Weeks block, on the corner of Main and Pleasant Streets.

F. W. Whittier opened a bakery in 1892 in the third store on the first floor. He stayed until 1901 when the building was destroyed by fire. Whittier than moved to 15 North Court Street where he was, again, burned out. In 1906 he moved back into the new brick Odd Fellows Block.
