About

History:
Built in 1850 by Samuel Clemence, the Clemence House is an Italianate style Victorian house with traditional Federalist period features, one of several significant brick homes in the School Street Historic District. The story of the house is linked to the success of the woolen mills of Southbridge. Throughout the 1800s, the Hamilton Woolen Mills owned the parcel of land along School Street. It divided the land into smaller parcels and eventually sold them off, with the stipulation that any house built on the property must have a value of more than $1,000, a substantial sum at that time. The homes built on this street were occupied mostly by foremen, superintendents of the company and skilled tradesmen. Now lovingly restored, The Clemence House at School Street is the Winner of the Well-Maintained Property Award.
