Charles Brown House

This house, at 24 Common Street, was built in 1904 by Daniel Brown, owner of the Wrentham Straw Works, for his son, Charles. Charles' widow sold it to Charles MacDougald, for many years the cashier of the National Bank of Wrentham. It later became the Maples Nursing Home.
The second Wrentham Straw Works (The first had burned to the ground) can be seen in the rear. It burned to the ground in 1933.
