In 1951, The Little Red Shop was moved from the Lake Street side of Hopedale Pond to its present location on Hopedale Street.  It had about three inches to spare going across the bridge.  The truck driver was Pete Knight.     The picture at the top is a favorite of mine, with one section of the shop on Freedom Street, near its destination, and the other side waiting its turn, with its reflection in the water.    If you haven't read the Cotton Chats article about The Little Red Shop (and if you haven't already learned more about it than you wanted to know) click here.            More photos of the move       BACK to  Red Shop on Lake Street      Red Shop Menu         HOME
