| Abstract: | Photo shows a view of Bayrd's Indian Trading Post, which was located at 52 Main Street at the head of Lake Quannapowitt. The structure was designed and built in 1955 by store owner E. Leonard Bayrd, a native American of the Narragansett tribe whose tribal name was Eagle Claw. The wood frame and stucco building was flanked by two stucco tepees painted in traditional patterns. The Bayrd family home was attached in the rear. The store sold native American artifacts and clothing. Bayrd died on Janury 4, 1990 and his wife Ruth died in 1991. The store closed and the contents were auctioned in November of 1991. The building was demolished on August 17, 1995 and the site is now occupied by the Gingerbread Construction Company muffin shop. |
