The Needham History Center Acquires the Iconic HARVEY'S HARDWARE Sign!
Harvey's is - alas! - now a part of Needham's history. As the new owners prepare to take over the site, the sign that has graced the corner of Great Plain Avenue and Chestnut Street for decades had to come down. Jeff and Gary Katz, sons of the late Harvey Katz, kindly donated the sign to the Needham History Center. At 15 feet long, moving it was a challenge, but it is now safely at the Mills House. We are thrilled to add it to our collections, and thank Jeff and Gary for entrusting it to us.
