Marblehead Celebrates Upgrades and Accessibility at Old Town House


Marblehead residents saluted their past as they paved the way to a better future on Saturday.

They saluted the past in their grand celebration of the upgraded Old Town House, a 1727 building that Selectman Judy Jacobi called the town's crown jewel of buildings.

They made history at the Old Town House by providing access to people who otherwise would have no easy way in to the Market Square centerpiece. Residents approved a $675,000 appropriation for the project at the polls in 2012.

In the accompanying video, Jacobi, also a member of the Old Town House Oversight Committee, explains the upgrades to all floors and the installation of new elevators and bathrooms and doors and lighting.

In tomorrow's Patch we will hear from two people who are enjoying the new accessibility.
